Luukkonen looked a bit wonky in his first three appearances this season, posting a .782 save percentage. While a porous defense played a part in compiling that ghastly number, he hardly stood out.

The Florida Panthers dropped a 5-3 decision to the Buffalo Sabres in an odd holiday matinee game at KeyBank Center that saw both starting goalies depart for different reasons. After applying early pressure, the Sabres opened the scoring at 5:53 when Josh Doan picked off a Gustav Forsling pass and worked a well-executed give-and-go with Peyton Krebs before ripping a wrister past Jacob Markström. The Panthers countered at the 11-minute mark to knot the score. After coming up with a tak...
