Luukkonen allowed two goals on 35 shots (.943 SV%) to snap a three-game winning streak as he was defeated by Minnesota in his previous start. The 23-year-old has been solid in his 20 starts this season, with his 13-5-2 record, .900 SV% and 3.26 GAA. He will take on the red-hot Carolina Hurricanes, who came back from 4-1 on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles to extend their winning streak to six games.

Thompson was not on the ice for Monday's practice and is considered day-to-day. This leaves Thompson's status for Wednesday's game vs. Carolina in question. It's unclear when Thompson suffered the injury, as he finished Saturday's game in Minnesota with 20:58 TOI.
Norris suffered a shoulder injury on October 22nd and missed three months before returning to the lineup on January 18th. Norris played three games, scoring one goal on seven shots but will undergo shoulder surgery in the near future and will not play again this season. Ridly Greig was recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take Norris' spot on the roster and fill the void at centre.
Luukkonen allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) as he picked up his second defeat in three games as he was downed by Florida in his last start. The 23-year-old netminder has a great record at 10-5-1 but has struggled to stop the puck in general, as shown by his 3.41 GAA and .897 SV%. He faces the New York Islanders, who have been on a tough run as of late, losing six of their last seven games after a 4-1 loss to Boston last game.

Norris has been sidelined since October 22nd but will be back on the second line with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux on Wednesday. Giroux is expected to take the face-offs, but Norris provides a massive offensive boost to the Senators, who averaged 4.2 goals per game in the five games Norris played earlier in the season.
Buffalo continues to shuffle their lineup around so that they can carry three goalies, this is once again nothing more than a paper transaction. Luukkonen should remain with the team and could start Tuesday in Chicago. Look for Craig Anderson to start Monday vs. the Panthers.
The Sabres' roster shuffle continues as they try to carry three goalies, so Krebs comes back up and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen goes to the AHL to make room. Krebs will likely draw into the lineup and return to his usual role on the fourth line. Krebs has picked up three goals and six assists (nine points) in 34 games this season.
