Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Makes His Season Debut Tuesday Night
3 years agoBuffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will get his first taste of action this season against Anaheim on Tuesday. The 22-year-old will enter the matchup with a 1-3-0 career record. Luukkonen has played in the AHL this season, putting together a 6-6-0 record with a 3.42 goals-against average, a .888 save percentage and one shutout. He's getting a look because Buffalo is desperate for some good goaltending. Top choices Craig Anderson (upper body) and Dustin Tokarski (COVID-19 protocols) are both on the shelf and Aaron Dell has taken one loss after another. The team even traded for Malcolm Subban last week, but he had an awful debut against Carolina, logging a 7.21 goals-against average with a .760 save percentage.
