Columbus have not had a problem scoring this season, averaging 3.67 goals per game.

Levi made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Nate Schmidt finished an odd-man rush for Florida midway through the first period to open the scoring, but Buffalo scored the next four goals in support of its 22-year-old goalie, and Levi cruised from there. He's looked good in his first two starts of 2024-25, posting a .919 save percentage on 62 shots, but Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is still expected to see the majority of the action in the crease for the Sabres this season.

Levi will guard the home net Saturday against the Panthers, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he didn't get the win in his season debut, Levi showed his skills on a world stage. And those skills are elite. Levi was one of the best players on the ice, and he was the reason the score only favored the Devils by two. His mates only mustered 18 shots on Jake Allen at the other end. Levi won't be the top dog in Buffalo this season or in 2025-25 either, but this young man should get another chance at being a starter.

EDGE Analysis

Levi featured in 23 NHL games for the Sabres last year, going 10-8-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .899 save percentage. Perhaps a strong preseason could change things up, but he seems destined for the AHL with Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen and James Reimer seemingly cemented in the NHL jobs for Buffalo. As such, Levi figures to be an attractive fantasy option only for managers in dynasty and keeper formats.

Levi was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Levi has a 10-8-2 record, 3.10 GAA and .899 save percentage in 23 contests this season. Buffalo was carrying three healthy goaltenders, including Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Eric Comrie, so moving Levi to the minors will allow the 22-year-old to get in some extra work. While the 2023-24 campaign has been far from ideal for Levi, he still has the potential to eventually develop into the Sabres' starting goaltender.

Levi stopped 28 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Levi entered the game after Luukkonen allowed four goals in the first 8:49 of the first period. After allowing a goal to Brady Tkachuk late in the frame, Levi would proceed to blank the Senators over the final two periods.
