Sabres Get More Bad News About Their Goaltending

The Buffalo Sabres are facing a goaltending crisis after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen suffered an injury during a 3-1 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Head coach Lindy Ruff confirmed that Luukkonen was removed from the game after he tweaked something, as the coaching staff chose not to take any chances with his health.

This setback follows an injury to fellow goaltender Alex Lyon, who was injured against the Detroit Red Wings and is expected to miss several days. With both primary goaltenders sidelined, the Sabres may turn to Colten Ellis while the organization continues to be linked to Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
