On the front end of a back-to-back, the Sabres will likely turn to Luukkonen between the pipes. The 25-year-old Luukkonen has been serviceable between the pipes for the Sabres this season, posting a 2.61 GAA and .909 SV% in 13 games (7-4-1), and is coming off his first shutout, a 23-save performance in a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The Sabres enter Friday's contest as -156 road favorites against an Anaheim Ducks club with the worst offense in the league, averaging 2.5 goals per game.
