For the first time this season, in their eighth game, the Sabres will use the same netminder in consecutive games, turning to Luukkonen again to occupy the crease on Tuesday evening against the Dallas Stars. Luukkonen was stellar in his previous outing, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. That said, Luukkonen has a less appealing 3.26 GAA and .895 SV% this season (1-3-0), and the Sabres are +126 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars club that defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 in their last contest.
