Luukkonen will start in Montreal on Tuesday.

The Sabres are trapped in a season-worst 10-game losing skid (0-7-3) and, desperate for a win, will turn to Luukkonen between pipes on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 25-year-old Luukkonen has a 2.80 GAA and .903 SV% in 21 games this season (8-9-3). The Sabres enter Tuesday's contest as -119 road favorites against a Canadiens club that defeated them 7-5 on November 11th.

The 28-year-old Georgiev has a 3.36 GAA and .873 SV% in 19 appearances this season (9-7-0). The Sharks enter Tuesday's contest as +198 home underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets club that has lost six of their last 10 (4-5-1).

Lyon (lower-body) will return to Detroit's lineup on Wednesday and is an option to start.

Lyon has been sidelined since suffering a lower-body injury at practice on November 27th but could return to the crease on Wednesday for the Red Wings. Cam Talbot (lower body) is nearing a return to the lineup as well but has been ruled out for Wednesday. The 32-year-old Lyon has a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances (4-4-0) this season.

Greenway (undsiclosed) is doubtful to play on Tuesday in Montreal.

Greenway has been a game-time decision each game since returning from an injury earlier this month and is unlikely to play on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 27-year-old Greenway is averaging 15:55 time-on-ice, recording seven points (3G / 4A) and 54 hits in 20 games this season.

Levi has been loaned to Rochester (AHL).

Levi was recalled yesterday and played against the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%) in a 5-3 loss. It was his first NHL action since November 16th. The Sabres return to the ice on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens and it is unclear if they may opt to recall Levi again ahead of that contest.

Lyon (lower-body) is expected to be ready to rejoin Detroit on Wednesday.

With Lyon and Cam Talbot (lower body) expected to return at different times this week, Ville Husso will likely be reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) after filling in as the Red Wings starting goalie the last few weeks. The 31-year-old Lyon has been solid between the pipes for the Red Wings this season, posting a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances (4-4-0).

Greenway (undisclosed) is dealing with soreness and will be a game-time decision on Saturday in Washington.

Greenway just returned from a 10-game absence due to injury and could be sidelined again on Saturday as he is dealing with soreness. The 27-year-old Greenway is averaging 16:04 time-on-ice, recording six points (3G / 3A) in 18 games.

Georgiev will make his Sharks' debut and start in St. Louis on Thursday.

After being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche earlier this week that primarily exchanged him with Mackenzie Blackwood, Georgiev will make his first start with the Sharks on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old Georgiev was wildly inconsistent in Colorado this season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .874 SV% in 18 games (8-7-0), but was slightly better lately, posting a .897 SV% in his 12 most recent appearances (7-3-0). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +171 road underdogs against a Blues club with points in six of their last seven (5-1-1).
