The Sabres are mired in an ugly 11-game losing skid (0-8-3) and will turn to Luukkonen between the pipes, desperate for a win on Friday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. A byproduct of poor team play, Luukkonen has struggled lately. The 25-year-old netminder was sporting a .914 SV% in his first 15 games (8-5-1) but has fallen significantly, posting a .860 SV% in his last seven (0-5-2). The Sabres enter Friday's contest as +137 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs club that defeated them 5-3 on Sunday.
