Luukkonen (lower body) has stated himself that he is good to return on Saturday in Minnesota.

Luukkonen was originally projected to start on Thursday for the Sabres but was a late scratch in favour of Eric Comrie as Luukkonen tended to a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old netminder has taken over the Sabres' starting crease this season with his strong play and 13-13-2 record, 2.51 GAA and .913 SV%.

Quinn (lower body) has been placed on the Injured Reserve.

Quinn is two weeks into his eight-week diagnosis of a lower-body injury and was placed on the Injured Reserve on Thursday as the Sabres recalled Dustin Tokarski from Rochester (AHL). The 22-year-old Quinn is likely close out his 2023-24 season with 12 points (5G/7A) in 17 games played.

Lyon will start on Thursday in Vancouver.

Lyon will be back between the pipes for the Red Wings on Thursday after Ville Husso got the nod in Edmonton on Tuesday. Lyon struggled after being forced into action against the Oilers when Husso left the game with a lower-body injury. Lyon allowed seven goals on 29 shots as the Red Wings fell by a score of 8-4. Lyon will have his hands full again on Thursday as the Red Wings find themselves as +160 underdogs in Vancouver.

Luukkonen will start against the Kings on Tuesday.

Luukkonen will continue his reign over the Sabres' crease on Tuesday night, starting for the ninth time in their last 10 games. Despite being a clear favourite between the pipes, Luukkonen has a sub-.500 record in his last nine contests (4-5-0), due mostly to a lack of goal support as he has allowed three or fewer goals in each contest, posting an excellent .930 SV%.

Timmins has been diagnosed with Infectious mononucleosis (mono) and is out indefinitely.

Timmins will be out of the lineup indefinitely as he tends to his illness. Timmins has frequently been out of the lineup lately, last playing on January 24th. He has six points (1G / 5A) in 16 games this season.

Power (undisclosed) will be out Tuesday and is considered week-to-week after sustaining an injury in practice Monday.

Power did not complete practice on Monday, leaving early because of an undisclosed injury. After receiving imaging and further evaluations later in the day, he will be out on a week-to-week basis. The 21-year-old Power has 18 points (2G / 16A) in 51 games this season.

Luukkonen is expected to start on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.

Luukkonen will likely continue his reign over the Sabres' crease on Tuesday night, starting for the ninth time in their last 10 games. Despite being a clear favourite between the pipes, Luukkonen has a sub-.500 record in his last nine contests (4-5-0), due mostly to a lack of goal support as he has allowed three or fewer goals in each contest, posting an excellent .930 SV%.

Luukkonen is expected to start Saturday vs. St. Louis.

Despite losing his last contest, the Sabres will turn to Luukkonen between the pipes for the third straight game on Saturday. Luukkonen was excellent in a 2-1 losing effort to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, saving 28 of 38 shots (.933 SV%). The 24-year-old Luukkonen started the season as the third-string netminder for the Sabres but has deservedly earned his way into being the go-to guy between the pipes.

Lyon will start on Saturday vs. Vancouver.

Lyon has emerged as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Red Wings and will start on Saturday when the team returns to the ice for their first game since the All-Star break. Lyon has a 2.51 GAA and .922 SV% in 21 games (13-6-2) but will be hard-pressed for a victory against the high-scoring Vancouver Canucks.

Jones will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay.

With Jacob Trouba returning from a two-game suspension, Jones will be a healthy scratch for the Rangers on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Jones has been semi-productive from the blueline in limited action with the Rangers this season, scoring five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games.

Zac Jones
Luukkonen will start Tuesday vs. Dallas.

Luukkonen and the Sabres will return to the ice on Tuesday for their first game since the All-Star break. In his last outing, Luukkonen saved 23 of 25 shots in a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks and has generally been the more relied-upon Sabres' netminder lately, starting seven of the last eight games (4-3-0). The Sabres are +144 home underdogs on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, who have points in five straight games (4-0-1).

Lyon will start Wednesday vs. the Senators.

Lyon will return to the crease for the seventh straight game on Wednesday as the Red Wings look to extend their winning streak to three games before the All-Star break. Lyon has been exceptional during his two-game winning streak, saving 58 of 60 shots (.967 SV%), including one shutout. The Red Wings are -120 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators club with points in six of their last seven outings (4-1-2).

Quinn (lower body) is expected to be out for approximately eight weeks after undergoing surgery Monday.

Quinn suffered the injury during Saturday's game in San Jose. The only initial update given by the team was that it was more serious than a day-to-day situation, and that was certainly accurate given the eight-week timeline announced today. Quinn was enjoying a nice start to his season after returning from an Achilles injury in mid-December, registering five goals and seven assists in 17 games. The timeline of his latest injury puts him on track to return around the end of March.
