The Buffalo Sabres have announced that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start in goal tonight, giving him the nod over Alex Lyon.
The decision to start Luukkonen comes as the Sabres look to turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs. "We need to make a change and see if we can get a spark from Ukko-Pekka," said the coach.
Luukkonen has been working hard in practice and has shown flashes of brilliance in his previous starts. The Sabres are hoping that he can bring some stability to the goaltending position and help the team win some games.
The Sabres' performance this season has been inconsistent, and the team is looking for someone to step up and make a difference. Tage Thompson has been a bright spot, but the team needs more players to contribute if they want to make a run.

As for what's next, the Sabres will be looking to build on this momentum and make a push for the playoffs. Their next game will be a crucial one, and the team will need to be focused if they want to come out on top.
The Sabres are a team on the rise, and this game will be a great opportunity for them to show what they can do. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in goal, the team is confident that they can get the win they need to turn their season around.
