BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 26 saves in his first career shutout and JJ Peterka, Casey Mittelstadt, Tyson Jost, and Rasmus Dahlin scored for
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen makes a save during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Colorado Avalanche, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Buffalo, N.Y.
Luukkonen was Buffalo’s third goaltender to start the season, but has been thrust into action because of injuries to Devon Levi and Eric Comrie. Makar’s right knee was bent under his body during the collision, which came after Makar lost his balance skating toward the net and was pushed from behind by Sabres forward Kyle Okposo.
“You see one of those every once in a while, and it’s a bad spot,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “Both guys skate toward the end boards, it looks to me like he gets him on the hips just above the goal line, which you’re going straight in with two guys. I just don’t think you can hit him there. So I don’t love it. I just think it’s a dangerous play.”
Jeff Skinner had two assists for Buffalo, matching Dahlin for the team lead with nine points. Skinner set up Peterka’s goal midway through the first period, and Mittelstadt’s goal in the opening minutes of the second.
