Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Projected to Start Thursday vs. Stars

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, indicating he will draw the home start against the Dallas Stars. This marks his third appearance in the Buffalo Sabres' first four games of the season. Across his initial two outings, he holds a 1-1-0 record with a 4.03 GAA and a .784 save percentage, and he looks to build on momentum from a recent 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
