www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was sidelined by a lower-body injury and was listed as day-to-day, with the Sabres noting he would miss at least one game during a stretch in February 2026. This sidelined status was tied to a specific matchup against the Florida Panthers at the time .
- More recently, reports in May 2026 indicate Luukkonen was active for multiple Sabres games late in the season, including starts against teams like the New York Rangers and Seattle Kraken, with solid save percentages and workhorse workload reflected in the team’s goaltending rotation .
- There has been ongoing chatter about his role and workload, including indications that Buffalo has rotated in other goalies (Georgiev, Lyon, and Levi interactions) during the 2025-26 season, but Luukkonen remained a frequent presence and was sometimes listed as the starting or primary option in important games .
