Goalie Start
Luukkonen led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.
Goalie Start
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is in the starter's crease at Thursday's morning skate.
Luukkonen has been a bright spot in an inconsistent season for the Sabres, as he will likely start for the second consecutive game on Thursday. With Devon Levi being sent down to the AHL, Luukkonen appears to be the favourite in the Sabres' goaltending tandem with him and Eric Comrie. Luukkonen is riding a three-game winning streak and has a sensational .942 SV% in his past five appearances (3-1-0). That said, the Sabres are still +112 road underdogs against the St. Louis Blues, who rank in the bottom third of the league offensively (2.86 GF / GP).
Send Down
Jiri Kulich has been reassigned to Rochester (AHL).
Kulich made his NHL debut on Saturday, playing 14:53 time-on-ice, recording zero points, one shot on goal, and a -1 plus/minus. He has been reassigned to the Rochester Americans of the AHL as the Sabres have recalled Brandon Biro.
Line Change
Jordan Greenway (personal) will draw back into the Sabres' lineup Thursday vs. St. Louis.
Greenway has missed the last two games for the Sabres tending to a personal matter but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. Through 19 games this season, Greenway has six points (2G / 4A), 19 penalty minutes, and 28 hits while averaging a career-high 17:08 time-on-ice. He has spent the majority of the season partnered with centerman Casey Mittelstadt.
Brandon Biro has been recalled from Rochester (AHL).
Biro played several games with the Rochester Americans of the AHL, where he has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 10 games, after returning from an injury that derailed a hot start to his NHL campaign. Before his injury, Biro played two games with the Sabres, scoring two goals while averaging 13:00 time-on-ice.
Send Down
Devon Levi has been loaned to the Rochester Americans (AHL).
With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (.918 SV%) playing so well and Eric Comrie locking down the backup spot, Devon Levi has been loaned to Rochester (AHL) for more game action. The 21-year-old struggled through injuries so far this season with his 3-4-1 record, 3.73 GAA and .876 SV%. He will head to Rochester for the first time in his career after making the immediate leap to the NHL from the NCAA near the end of 2022-23.
Line Change
Kulich is listed as a scratch for Monday's game in New York.
Kulich is set to sit on Monday as the Sabres appear to be opting to dress seven defensemen against the Rangers. The 2022 first-round pick has played just one game this season, registering no points and one shot on goal.

Samuelsson (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in New York on Monday.
Samuelsson only played 6:27 on Saturday after leaving the game with an upper-body injury and was a game-time decision for the Sabres on Monday. Samuelsson has three points (1G / 2A), averaging 19:27 time-on-ice through 18 games this season.
Goalie Start
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start Monday at the New York Rangers.
After not playing a single game for the Sabres in their first two weeks of the season, Luukkonen has become their most reliable option between the pipes. In his last eight appearances (4-2-1), Luukkonen has a sparkling .923 SV% and one shutout. The Sabres rank in the bottom half of the league defensively, allowing an average of 3.33 goals per game, a stark contrast to Luukkonen's impressive 2.71 GAA. That said, Luukkonen and the Sabres will have their work cut out for them as +188 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that has won three straight, outscoring their opposition 11-5.
Line Change
Henri Jokiharju will draw back into the Sabres' lineup Monday vs. the Rangers.
Jokiharju did not play on Saturday and has averaged only 12:34 time-on-ice over his last four games after averaging 17:11 in his first 14, which is also when he accumulated all seven points he has this season (2G / 5A). Jokiharju has predominantly skated alongside Owen Power this season on the Sabres' second defensive pairing.
Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) will be a game-time decision Monday vs. the Rangers.
Samuelsson only played 6:27 on Saturday after leaving the game with an upper-body injury. Samuelsson has three points (1G / 2A), averaging 19:27 time-on-ice through 18 games this season, and will be a game-time decision for the Sabres on Monday.

Jokiharju has two goals, five assists, 18 SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 18 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Saturday vs. New Jersey. Isak Rosen will make his debut in Jokiharju's place.
