Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was again in strong form in goal for the Sabres. The Finnish goalie recorded 20 saves and received one penalty for hooking.

Luukkonen has played 17 games this season. In those, his save percentage has been 90.40.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen turned away 20 of 22 shots for his seventh straight win at home and helped the @BuffaloSabres climb into a Wild Card spot.
