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.

Levi (lower body) won't be available for Saturday's game against the Islanders, Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it was determined that Levi was fine after missing practice Friday, he's still dealing with soreness that'll keep him out of Saturday's matchup. The 21-year-old Levi had started all four of Buffalo's previous matchups to open the season, going 1-3-0 with an .892 save percentage. Eric Comrie will get the start against the Islanders, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen serving as the backup.

Levi (lower body) was back at practice Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Levi missed practice Friday after getting hurt during Thursday's game versus Calgary. The Sabres declared Levi to be fine. The netminder is 1-3-0 this season, giving up 13 goals on 120 shots. Coach Don Granato said that Levi is healthy enough to play Saturday but is injured enough to enable Mike Comrie to get the start against the Islanders.

Levi made 32 saves Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
So much went wrong for the Sabres defensively, and they relied on Levi to bail them out for the mistakes. He made a few mistakes of his own, including losing sight of Jonathan Huberdeau's goal 49 seconds into the game and failing to get to Walker Duehr's weak shot that leaked through at 10:15 of the first. Levi did make several big stops, but he couldn't do it all. After he stoned Elias Lindholm on a breakaway with 21 seconds left in the second period to keep the game tied, Levi's teammates promptly opened the third by coughing up four-on-two which ended up with a Calgary goal. He has started all four Buffalo games and is facing a kind of adversity that he rarely experienced at Northeastern University. Levi will likely get a rest soon, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Eric Comrie waiting their turn on the sidelines.

Levi will be in the home crease versus the Flames on Thursday, according to Sabres reporter Joe Yerdon .
EDGE Analysis
Levi will now have started all four games thus far after giving up nine goals on 84 shots over his first three starts. The good news is that he has improved each game, giving up four goals on 30 shots Opening Night against the Rangers and stopping 26 of 29 shots in a 3-2 loss versus the Islanders on Saturday. Levi picked up his first win of the season Tuesday against Tampa Bay, stopping 23 of 25 shots. He faces the Flames, who are 1-1-1 this season, having scored nine goals over that span.

Levi stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Levi was solid Tuesday, holding the Lightning to one goal before Brandon Hagel tied the game 2-2 with seven seconds left in regulation. However, he'd hang on to pick up his first win of the season after Dylan Cozens tallied the game-winner in overtime. The 21-year-old Levi has started all three of the Sabres' games to open the campaign, going 1-2-0 with an .890 save percentage, as it appears he'll be given a real chance to run with the starting job in Buffalo.
