Luukkonen has had a busy week of being sent down and then recalled after winning his previous start for a sixth straight win by stopping 39 of 44 shots (.886 SV%) as he defeated Minnesota his last time out. The 23-year-old has an impressive 9-3-1 record, but a not-so-pretty 3.49 GAA and .894 SV%. He will face Winnipeg, who just snapped a five-game winning streak with a 7-5 loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
Quinn's move is likely a paper transaction to make room for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to come up and start Thursday's game. Expect Quinn to be in the building on Thursday and be recalled before their next game.
Luukkonen was scheduled to start on Tuesday but was unavailable due to illness, recalling him this morning suggests that he's feeling better and is in line to start Thursday. With Luukkonen coming up, Jack Quinn was loaned to the AHL, but that's likely just a paper transaction to make room for Luukkonen.
Reimer allowed four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) and picked up his sixth loss in seven starts as he was defeated by Boston his last time out. The season has not turned out as planned for the 34-year-old netminder, who is 7-12-3 with a 3.22 GAA and .895 SV%. He will face the Los Angeles Kings, who have won three of their last four games after a 6-3 victory over Edmonton last game.
Jokiharju has not played since Dec. 9th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off the injured reserve Tuesday. Prior to his injury, the 23-year-old has one goal, three assists, 20 SOG, 12 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 16 games.
Greenway has two goals, four goals, 30 SOG, 14 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 22 games but will be a game-time decision Tuesday vs. the New York Rangers. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury.
Luukonen has a 9-3-1 record, 3.49 GAA and .894 SV% this season but will surprisingly be loaned back to Rochester (AHL) as Eric Comrie returns from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old is expected to return to the club this season so this is just a temporary move.
With Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson making their season debuts on Sunday, Aube-Kubel and Anthony Mantha will be healthy scratches vs. the Blue Jackets. Aube-Kubel has scored in back-to-back games (his first goals of the season) but is the victim of a numbers game in Washington.
Sandstrom has a 1-6-1 record, 3.37 GAA and .888 SV% and will head to Lehigh Valley (AHL) for a conditioning stint for the first time this season. The 25-year-old rookie netminder was the odd man out as Philadelphia decided to keep Samuel Ersson on the active roster.
Luukkonen stopped 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) for his fourth straight win as he picked up a surprising victory over Boston in his last start. The 23-year-old has taken over Buffalo's starting crease due to his 7-3-1 record, 3.35 GAA and .896 SV%. He will take on the Washington Capitals, who have won six of their last seven games after a 9-2 thumping of Montreal in their previous game.
