Sabres' Luukkonen Sidelined One Week with Lower-Body Injury

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) is expected to miss approximately one week, according to head coach Lindy Ruff. The Buffalo Sabres goaltender's injury could potentially impact his availability for the Olympics with Finland. He may remain out until the final game before the break, a Feb. 5 home matchup against the Penguins. In his absence, Alex Lyon is anticipated to handle the majority of the workload, with Colten Ellis available as backup.
