Levi stopped 31 of 32 shots after relieving Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in a 6-2 loss to the Senators on Wednesday.

Levi entered the game after Luukkonen allowed four goals in the first 8:49 of the first period. After allowing a goal to Brady Tkachuk late in the frame, Levi would proceed to blank the Senators over the final two periods. Despite the 22-year-old netminder's performance, the Sabres couldn't overcome the early 5-0 deficit, saddling Luukkonen with the loss. While Levi's seen limited action, he's been sharp recently, sporting a .943 save percentage over his last three appearances. Overall, he's 9-8-2 with an .898 save percentage and 3.16 GAA this season.

Luukkonen allowed four goals on nine shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.

It was a rough night for Luukkonen, who allowed four goals in the first 8:49 of the opening period before he was relieved by Devon Levi. The 25-year-old Luukkonen had won five of his last seven outings prior to Wednesday's matchup, sporting a .909 save percentage in that span. Luukkonen falls to 24-19-3 with a .911 save percentage and 2.57 GAA in what's been a generally impressive campaign. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which could come Friday when the Sabres host New Jersey.

Korpisalo turned aside 34 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Korpisalo was sharp again Wednesday, holding Buffalo to a pair of second-period goals en route to his third consecutive win. The 29-year-old netminder's won five of his last six starts, sporting a .909 save percentage in that span. It's been a nice stretch in an otherwise disappointing season for Korpisalo -- he improved to 18-21-4 on the campaign with an .890 save percentage and 3.30 GAA. Anton Forsberg will likely get the start Thursday in the second half of a back-to-back, which would put Korpisalo on track to get the nod for a road matchup in Winnipeg on Saturday.

Ullmark stopped 28 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Lightning. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Ullmark was solid but didn't get enough support in the close contest. This was Ullmark's second loss in a row, which follows a three-game winning streak. He hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last six outings. The 30-year-old is down to 19-9-7 with a 2.64 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 36 appearances. The Bruins continue to have success alternating their goalies, so it's likely Jeremy Swayman will start Saturday versus the Capitals which would put Ullmark on track to get the nod for Tuesday's game versus the Predators.

Vasilevskiy stopped 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Vasilevskiy also earned an assist on Nikita Kucherov's empty-netter. After an overtime loss versus the Kings on Saturday ended Vasilevskiy's winning streak at five games, he quickly bounced back. The 29-year-old netminder is 7-1-1 with 23 goals allowed over nine outings in March, getting back into form after some uneven performances this season. He's at 27-16-2 with a 2.90 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 45 outings this season. The Lightning's next game is Saturday versus the Islanders.

Luukkonen will start at home versus the Senators on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Luukkonen has gone 6-3-1 with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 10 games in March. The Senators boast a solid offense with 20 goals over their last six games, but they have just three wins in that span.

Reimer is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Thursday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Reimer has won his last three starts while saving 90 of 97 shots (.928 save percentage). He's 9-7-2 with a 2.98 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 outings this campaign. The Hurricanes, who rank ninth offensively with 3.37 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for Reimer.

Ullmark is set to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, per Joe Pohoryles of The Hockey News.

Ullmark has a 19-8-7 record, 2.66 GAA and .913 save percentage in 35 appearances this year. He turned aside 26 of 29 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to Philadelphia in his last start Saturday. The Lightning, who rank sixth offensively with 3.48 goals per game, figure to be a challenging opponent for Ullmark.

Demko (knee) was moved to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to March 9.

Demko will be eligible to return for a road game against LA on April 6 at the earliest. He has a 34-13-2 record, 2.47 GAA and .917 save percentage in 49 outings this season. Casey DeSmith is likely to continue to get the bulk of Vancouver's starts during Demko's absence while Arturs Silovs will primarily serve as the backup.

Woll is expected to start at home against Washington on Thursday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

Woll is getting a chance to rebound after stopping just 19 of 24 shots en route to a 6-3 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday. He has a 10-9-1 record, 2.96 GAA and .908 save percentage in 21 outings this season. The Capitals have won six of their last seven games, so they might be a difficult adversary for Woll.
