2024 Fantasy Outlook
Levi split time between Buffalo and AHL Rochester last season. Expectations of instant NHL stardom were simply too much, but he thrived in the minors once he went down in January. Levi posted a 16-6-4 record and 2.42 GAA in 26 games with the Amerks, and started to look every bit the star people believed he'd be. His 2024-25 seems set in the AHL after the Sabres inked Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to a five-year deal in late July. Honestly, that's good for Levi and the Sabres, too, at least for a couple of seasons. The young netminder can grow his game and then move into the backup role in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Sabres in March of 2023.
Returned to minors

December 16, 2024
Levi was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Monday.
ANALYSIS
In Levi's last four NHL outings, he posted a 1-3-0 record, 4.05 GAA and .873 save percentage. With nobody winning games in Buffalo right now -- the team is 0-7-3 in its last 10 games -- it is understandable that the club would try to make some tweaks, but it appears deploying Levi was not the move.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Although Levi wasn't selected until the No. 212 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, at this point his potential is clear. He was a phenomenal netminder with Northeastern University, posting a 2.24 GAA and a .933 save percentage in 34 NCAA games as a junior last year. He also got a taste of the NHL with Buffalo, recording a 5-2-0 record, 2.94 GAA and .905 save percentage in seven starts. While those numbers with the Sabres don't look great, he didn't get much help defensively, which is highlighted by him finishing the campaign with 3.1 goals saved above expected. Unfortunately, Buffalo might not be able to help him much more defensively this season. The 21-year-old goaltender might also go through some growing pains, which further makes him a risk. Still, he's positioned to start the campaign as Buffalo's starting goaltender and that, combined with his sky-high potential, makes him an interesting fantasy option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working in starter's net
GBuffalo Sabres  Minors
November 15, 2024
Levi operated in the starter's crease during Friday's practice, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports, indicating he could get the start for Saturday's road game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
While Levi appears to be in line for the start following his usage at practice, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, was on the ice for practice, and he could be in the mix to draw the start if he's cleared to play. Levi has made six appearances this year, posting a 2-4-0 record, 3.87 GAA and .870 save percentage.
