Levi allowed five goals on 18 shots before being replaced by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen late in the second period of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old netminder got very little help from his defensemen, and Levi seemed to deflate after a wobbly shot from Hampus Lindholm dipped between his legs midway through the second period to put Buffalo in a 5-0 hole. Coach Don Granato didn't actually make the switch in the crease until Victor Olofsson got the Sabres on the board a few minutes later, however. Levi saw his brief two-game win streak come to an end, and on the season he carries a 3-4-0 record with a rough 3.65 GAA and .881 save percentage. Look for Luukkonen to be between the pipes Friday in Winnipeg.

Levi will patrol the home crease against Boston on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi has won his past two starts, including a 33-save performance in a 3-2 victory over Minnesota on Friday. In six appearances this season, he has posted a 3-3-0 record with a 3.17 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Bruins rank 17th in the league this campaign with 3.21 goals per contest.

Levi turned aside 33 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old netminder ended up as the game's first star after a strong performance that saw Minnesota only get pucks past Levi on power plays in the first and third periods. Since returning from a lower-body injury at the beginning of the month, he's won both his starts to improve to a 3-3-0 record with a 3.18 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Sabres are rolling for now with a timeshare in net between Levi and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, but it may not be long before the younger Levi regains the No. 1 job.

Levi will be stationed between the pipes for Friday's home matchup with the Wild, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi defeated the Maple Leafs on Nov. 4 despite coughing up four goals on 28 shots. It was his first appearance since Oct. 19 after missing seven games with a lower-body issue. The rookie netminder is 2-3-0 with a lackluster .885 save percentage and 3.41 GAA as he battles for playing time with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Levi made 25 saves in a 6-4 win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Leafs' big guns had Levi's number. Mitchell Marner had a goal and three helpers, while Auston Matthews delivered his third hattie of the season. This was Levi's first start since Oct. 19 after being sidelined due to a lower-body injury. He was the backup for Buffalo's first two games this week. Sabres' brass, fans and fantasy managers alike have sky-high expectations for this young man. Levi will be good this year, but that's a lot to carry for a 21-year-old rookie.

Levi (lower body) is expected to start in Saturday's road contest versus Toronto, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Levi's first game since Oct. 19, though he did take a step toward returning from his lower-body injury by serving as the backup goaltender Wednesday and Friday. He has a 1-3-0 record, 3.26 GAA and .892 save percentage in four appearances this year. The Maple Leafs are in a three-way tie for 15th offensively with 3.10 goals per game.

Levi (lower body) will serve as the backup goaltender in Buffalo's road game versus Philadelphia on Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi hasn't played since Oct. 19 because of the injury. He has a 1-3-0 record, 3.26 GAA and .892 save percentage in four contests this year. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is expected to start Wednesday, but Levi might serve between the pipes either at home Friday against the Flyers or Saturday in Toronto.

Levi (lower body) might be available to suit up as the backup goalie Wednesday against Philadelphia, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi, who hasn't played since Oct. 19 against Calgary, has been making some progress skating on his own for the past two days. The Sabres hope to have him back at practice Tuesday. Fellow Buffalo netminder Eric Comrie (lower body) is week-to-week, so Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will probably start Sunday versus Colorado. The Sabres brought up Devin Cooley from AHL Rochester on Saturday to serve as the backup goalie.

Levi (lower body) isn't quite ready to return Friday versus New Jersey, and the Sabres see no reason to rush the process, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Levi, who hasn't played since last Thursday, has a 1-3-0 record, 3.26 GAA and .892 save percentage in four contests this season. While Levi has been dealing with his injury, Eric Comrie and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have been fine in net. Comrie in particular has stood out, saving 48 of 52 shots (.923 save percentage) over his last two contests. Levi opened the campaign as Buffalo's starter, but if Comrie continues to play well, then perhaps Levi will be challenged for that position.

Levi (lower body) is not expected to be available for Buffalo's next two games, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi hasn't played since Thursday due to a nagging lower-body issue. Buffalo wants to be cautious with his recovery, so Eric Comrie will start Monday versus the Canadiens and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen could play Tuesday against Ottawa. Levi has allowed 13 goals on 120 shots en route to a 1-3-0 start to the 2023-24 campaign.
