Luukkonen will start against the Islanders on Thursday.

The Sabres have won two straight and will return to Luukkonen between the pipes on Thursday night. Luukkonen has allowed three or fewer goals in 10 straight (7-2-1), posting a tremendous .924 SV%. The playoffs remain a longshot for the Sabres but the 25-year-old Luukkonen has been a bright spot on an otherwise disappointing season, keeping them within reaching distance of a Wild Card spot. The Sabres enter action as slight -102 home underdogs against the New York Islanders.

Georgiev will start in Vancouver on Wednesday.

Georgiev will be back between the pipes for the Avalanche on Wednesday after Justus Annunen got the nod in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames. Georgiev's last appearance came on Friday against the Wild, when he allowed just a single goal on 30 shots as Colorado managed to pick up the overtime victory over the Wild. Georgiev owns a rather disappointing .901 SV% on the season but has still managed a 33-15-3 record thanks to some outstanding goal support. He'll have his hands full on Wednesday when he and the Avs travel to Vancouver to take on the leaders of the Western Conference.

After a tremendous start to his season, Lyon has been abysmal lately, allowing four or more goals in five straight (0-5-0), posting a .850 SV%. The Red Wings have a favourable matchup on Thursday against an Arizona Coyotes club that defeated them 4-0 one week ago.
