Luukkonen Robs Caufield As MTL-BUF Tightens Up

This is the kind of game where one goalie sniffing out one shot can swing the whole tone. Luukkonen makes a strong stop on Cole Caufield, and Dobes answers at the other end with a big save on Jack Quinn, which tells you nobody is getting much for free. Both clubs are living in the margins, and that usually means the next mistake becomes the storyline. When the crease is this crowded and the chances are this precious, the first clean finish can feel like a two-goal lead.
