Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen backstops Sabres to win over Canucks
by Bruno Mulé | Sabres Correspondent | Wed, Jan 22nd 12:00pm EST
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen turned aside 31 of 33 shots in the Sabres' 3-2 victory against the Canucks on Tuesday. Despite allowing two goals midway through the game, he held firm in the third period as Buffalo's offense secured the comeback win.
Fantasy Impact:
Luukkonen picked up his fourth win in his last six starts, improving to 15-14-4 on the season. While his 2.99 GAA and .897 save percentage remain subpar, he continues to provide decent value in matchups where Buffalo’s offense can support him. With the Sabres’ road trip continuing in Calgary on Thursday, Luukkonen could see more action, but fantasy managers should weigh the risks carefully given his recent inconsistency. He’s best utilized as a streaming option in favorable matchups.
