NHL Player News

Luukkonen stopped 32 of 34 shots in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Luukkonen has gone 13 games without allowing more than three goals, and he's won nine of them. He allowed a goal in the first minute and gave up a fluky power-play tally later in the first period, but that was the extent of the damage. The Finn improved to 23-17-3 with a 2.39 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 44 appearances. Luukkonen will likely get some rest Tuesday in Vancouver, as the Sabres are expected to start Devon Levi in that game versus the Canucks.

Wolf allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Capitals on Monday.

Three of the Caps' five goals came in the second period, including a pair of Alex Ovechkin power-play tallies, as Wolf's winning streak was halted at two. The 22-year-old Wolf has started three straight games with Jacob Markstrom (lower body) sidelined. Overall, Wolf is 3-4-1 with an .897 save percentage and 3.25 GAA this season. While he's been decent in his current NHL stint, there's a good chance that Wolf will either be relegated to backup duty or sent back to the AHL with Markstrom likely to return before the Flames' next game Saturday in Vancouver.

Lindgren stopped 34 of 36 shots in Monday's 5-2 victory over Calgary.

Lindgren was sharp again Monday, holding the Flames to single goals in the second and third periods en route to a third-straight win and fifth in his last six outings -- Lindgren's posted an impressive .956 save percentage in that span. The 30-year-old netminder improves to 18-11-5 on the season with a .915 save percentage and 2.59 GAA while firming his grasp on the starting job in Washington. Lindgren figures to be between the pipes again Wednesday when the Capitals host Toronto.

Montembeault will tend the twine on the road versus Edmonton on Tuesday.

Montembeault is mired in a four-game losing streak during which he has gone 0-2-2 with a 11 goals allowed on 124 shots. The netminder continues to split the load with Cayden Primeau, who has been getting more work since the Canadiens traded Jake Allen to the Devils at the deadline.

Luukkonen will guard the road net Monday against the Kraken, per Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Luukkonen made 22 saves on 25 shots in a 4-1 loss to Detroit on Saturday during his last outing. He has held the opposition to three goals or fewer in each of his past 12 appearances en route to a record of 8-3-1 during that span. Luukkonen has gone 22-17-3 this campaign with five shutouts, a 2.40 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 43 games played. Seattle ranks 28th in the league this season with 2.68 goals per contest.

Lindgren will guard the road goal Monday versus the Flames, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Lindgren has gone 4-1-0 over his past five outings, allowing just six goals on 146 shots during that span. He has compiled a 17-11-5 record this season with four shutouts, a 2.61 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 35 appearances. Calgary is tied for 15th in the league this campaign with 3.15 goals per contest.

Daccord was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Scott Malone of Root Sports Northwest reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Buffalo.

Daccord has earned just two wins in his last nine outings, posting a 2-6-1 record, a 2.79 GAA and a .913 save percentage in that span. With starter Philipp Grubauer giving up eight goals on 63 shots (.873 save percentage) in his last two outings, both defeats, Daccord could get the chance to play his way out of his current funk and reclaim the starting job.

Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday.

Daws managed just one win in his last five outings, posting a 1-3-0 record and 2.88 GAA. With new additions Jake Allen and Kaapo Kahkonen available, Daws was the odd man out and figures to spend the remainder of the campaign in the minors, barring an injury to one of the aforementioned backstops.

Markstrom (lower body) won't be in the lineup Monday versus Washington, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Markstrom will miss his fourth straight contest. Dustin Wolf will make his third consecutive start Monday, with Dan Vladar occupying the backup role. It is currently unclear if Markstrom will return Saturday in Vancouver for the first half of Calgary's back-to-back. The Flames will host Buffalo on Sunday. The 34-year-old netminder has a 22-17-2 record this season with a 2.68 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 41 appearances.

Wolf will patrol the home crease Monday against Washington, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf has won his past two outings, stopping 64 of 67 shots during that span. In nine NHL appearances this season, he has a 3-3-1 record with a 3.14 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Capitals rank 29th in the league this campaign with 2.62 goals per contest.
