The Buffalo Sabres have recalled goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the Rochester Americans, the team announced Thursday.
Luukkonen is 6-3-0 with an .898 save percentage and 3.07 goals-against average in the AHL this season.
Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie exited Wednesday’s game against Ottawa midway through the second period with an injury. Craig Anderson made 14 saves in relief.
Sabres coach Don Granato did not have an update on Comrie’s status after the game, and Buffalo did not practice on Thursday. The team will head to Toronto following Friday’s practice for a Saturday night match against the Maple Leafs. Pregame coverage on MSG starts at 6:30.
