Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen News: Gives up three goals Wednesday
Luukkonen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 58 seconds left in the game.
Luukkonen was coming off wins in his previous two outings against the Blackhawks and Hurricanes, a stretch in which he made 49 saves on 53 shots. Given that this was the first time Luukkonen has made three starts in a row this season, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets a day off sooner rather than later. The Sabres' next game is scheduled for Friday at home against the Devils.
