Buffalo Sabres News
Goalie Start
Luukkonen will start vs. the Panthers.
The Sabres reassigned Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to Rochester (AHL).
Buffalo continues to shuffle their lineup around so that they can carry three goalies, this is once again nothing more than a paper transaction. Luukkonen should remain with the team and could start Tuesday in Chicago. Look for Craig Anderson to start Monday vs. the Panthers.
The Sabres recalled Peyton Krebs from Rochester (AHL).
The Sabres' roster shuffle continues as they try to carry three goalies, so Krebs comes back up and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen goes to the AHL to make room. Krebs will likely draw into the lineup and return to his usual role on the fourth line. Krebs has picked up three goals and six assists (nine points) in 34 games this season.
Goalie Start
Luukkonen will start Saturday in Nashville.
Jack Quinn has been recalled from Rochester (AHL).
Quinn has been having a solid rookie season, with six goals, 17 points, 50 SOG, and a +4 plus/minus through 33 games with the Sabres but was sent down to Rochester earlier in the week as a paper move due to the three healthy goaltender situation in Buffalo. He is back up with the big club and expected to stay for the remained of the year.
Line Change
Peyton Krebs has been loaned to Rochester (AHL).
Krebs has three goals, six assists, 29 SOG, 23 PIMs and a -3 plus/minus through 34 games with the Sabres' but will head down to Rochester as a paper transaction on loan. Krebs should be back up with the Sabres sooner rather than later as he is not expected to stay in the minors long.
Line Change
Conor Timmins will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Detroit.
Goalie Start
Luukkonen will start Thursday vs. the Jets.
Luukkonen has had a busy week of being sent down and then recalled after winning his previous start for a sixth straight win by stopping 39 of 44 shots (.886 SV%) as he defeated Minnesota his last time out. The 23-year-old has an impressive 9-3-1 record, but a not-so-pretty 3.49 GAA and .894 SV%. He will face Winnipeg, who just snapped a five-game winning streak with a 7-5 loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
