Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen earns win over Rangers
by Bruno Mulé | Sabres Correspondent | Sun, Feb 23rd 4:39pm EST
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 26 of 28 shots in Buffalo’s commanding 8-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Luukkonen had little trouble securing the win after the Sabres put up five goals in the first period, forcing Igor Shesterkin out of the game. The 25-year-old has now won four of his last five starts, improving to 8-4-1 since the beginning of January. However, his 3.08 GAA and .890 save percentage in that span indicate some inconsistencies. With Buffalo’s offense surging, Luukkonen remains a viable streaming option in favorable matchups, but fantasy managers should be mindful of his volatility.
