Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Strong in OT loss

Luukkonen made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets on Thursday.

Luukkonen played a strong game and came within a hair of stopping the eventual winner -- he slammed the door shut on the initial chance off the rush, but Adam Lowry picked up the rebound near the right post and hammered it home. Luukkonen has scuffled a bit lately -- he's 0-2-2 in his last four games with 13 goals allowed after going 5-0-0 in his previous five outings. Luukkonen is a solid fantasy netminder and will play a crucial role in the Sabres' postseason chances.
