Luukkonen Practices, Targets Wednesday Return
Buffalo's Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen hits the ice for practice after his injury scare, eyeing a bounce-back for Wednesday's key matchup. The Sabres netminder anchors their crease like few young goalies can, and his timely return stabilizes a blue line that's leaned hard on him. With playoff positioning tight in the Atlantic, Luukkonen's mask stays in net sooner than expected.
