Oilers' Devon Levi: Makes 27 saves in overtime win
Rotowire
Levi stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Levi secured another victory despite allowing Minnesota to erase a two-goal deficit in the third period. The young goaltender finished with a .900 save percentage, and he has posted a single-game save percentage of at least .900 in four of his six appearances this season. His ability to collect wins behind a potent Oilers offense strengthens his fantasy appeal, although his save percentage and consistency will remain important factors in determining his long-term value. For now, though, he should remain the Oilers' No. 1 goaltender ahead of Tristan Jarry, and that should be enough to keep him rostered across all formats.

Rotowire
Levi will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Tuesday.
Levi's season-opening four-game winning streak ended with a 4-2 loss to Utah on Thursday. He has surrendered 14 goals on 137 shots in five appearances this campaign. Minnesota (6-2-1) ranks 16th in the league this season with 3.11 goals per game.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Takes first loss
Rotowire
Levi allowed three goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Levi had won all four of his previous outings, but he couldn't get the better of the Mammoth. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed just seven goals over his last four games after giving up that many in his season debut. He's at a 4-1-0 record with a 2.83 GAA and an .897 save percentage through five outings. Levi will back up Tristan Jarry to begin Saturday's rematch versus the Mammoth in Utah. Beyond that, the Oilers look poised to go with the hot hand in goal, but Levi has carved out a slight advantage for playing time so far.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Impresses under heavy pressure
Rotowire
Levi stopped 39 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
While Levi's season debut was a dud, he's followed it up with some sharp work. He's allowed just four goals on 91 shots over his last three outings, though his season stats remain weighed down by giving up seven goals in his first game. The 24-year-old looks to have settled in well and could get a chance to run with the starting job if he keeps stringing together wins. The Oilers have a home-and-home set against the Mammoth up next, beginning with Thursday's game in Edmonton.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Slated to battle Kings
Rotowire
Levi will guard the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Kings, per Oilers TV Reporter Paige Martin.
Levi has had an up and down start to the 2026-27 season, where he's struggled in some instances, but has managed to walk away from each of his three starts undefeated. Overall, the 24-year-old backstop has a 3-0-0 record, a 3.35 GAA and an .863 save percentage. He's a risky start in fantasy until he can showcase some consistency, but his flashes of upside and role as the Oilers' netminder make him a great stash in fantasy for the time being. He'll have a good chance to bounce back against the Kings offense Tuesday, as they currently rank 25th in the NHL with 2.50 goals per game.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Overcomes rough first period
Rotowire
Levi allowed two goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Beckett Sennecke scored twice in the first period, but Levi locked in over the final 40 minutes. The Oilers' offense also stepped up with a five-goal second period to give him support. Levi has won all three of his starts so far despite allowing 10 goals on 73 shots in those games. The Oilers' next game is Saturday versus the Sharks, and if Levi gets the start and plays well in that one, he may be considered the early leader for the No. 1 job between the pipes in Edmonton.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Gets starting nod for Wednesday
Rotowire
Levi will be between the pipes on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Levi is currently riding a two-game winning streak during which he posted a 4.03 GAA and .810 save percentage. With those victories, the 24-year-old backstop has already matched his 2025-26 win total. At this point, it seems to be an open competition for the No. 1 role in Edmonton, especially while Frederik Andersen (knee) is on the shelf.

Oilers' Devon Levi: Traded for draft pick
Rotowire
Levi was acquired along with a 2028 seventh-round pick by Edmonton from Buffalo on Wednesday in exchange for a 2028 third-round selection.
At one point, Levi was considered Buffalo's future starting goaltender. However, he struggled to make an impact in the NHL, posting a 3.29 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 39 career regular-season outings with the Sabres. It got to the point where he no longer fit into Buffalo's plans, motivating the move to Edmonton. The Oilers need goaltending, so this is a golden opportunity for Levi to show that those former expectations weren't misplaced. However, the team has a crowded crease entering training camp with Levi, Tristan Jarry and Frederik Andersen competing for spots.

Levi recorded a 29-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 4-0 win over Toronto in Game 2 on Friday.
Levi bounced back from giving up five goals in the Americans' Game 1 loss Wednesday. He went 23-20-9 with a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 52 regular-season games in his third year with Rochester.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Earns third shutout
Rotowire
Levi logged a 23-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 3-0 win over Utica on Friday.
Levi's last two wins have come via shutout, and he has three shutouts this season. He's up to a 14-7-6 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 27 outings. The Sabres still have three goalies at the NHL level, so Levi's path to the big club is blocked this season.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Secures second shutout
Rotowire
Levi notched a 20-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 3-0 win over Syracuse on Wednesday.
Levi has two shutouts this season for the Americans. The 24-year-old netminder has a 13-7-4 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 24 appearances. He's collected four wins over his last nine outings and continues to have some consistency troubles for the farm team.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Earns shutout over Laval
Rotowire
Levi posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 4-0 win over Laval on Friday.
Levi has been tasked with dominating the AHL this season, and he's off to a 3-0-0 start. He's allowed seven goals on 76 shots over his first three games, but he also posted his first shutout of the season Friday, which was the eighth of his AHL career. The Sabres are carrying three goalies on the NHL roster now that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is healthy -- until that logjam is cleared, Levi will remain in Rochester.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Snags two-year deal
Rotowire
Levi agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.625 million contract with Buffalo on Wednesday.
Levi saw action in just nine NHL games last year in which he posted a sub-optimal 2-7-0 record, 4.12 GAA and .872 save percentage. With the team bringing in Alex Lyon in free agency, the 23-year-old Levi may face an uphill battle to secure the No. 2 spot in the crease. Given his age, Levi looks like he could benefit from another campaign as the starter with AHL Rochester.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Returned to minors
Rotowire
Levi was shipped down to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.
Levi was disappointing in his last five outings, posting a 1-4-0 record and a 4.31 GAA along the way. The decision to send the 23-year-old netminder back to the Americans is a strong indication that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will be available to at least serve as the backup against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
Levi was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday.
Buffalo placed Ryan McLeod (undisclosed) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The Sabres have just 12 healthy forwards, though seven defensemen could play if Jiri Kulich (lower body) is unavailable during the team's upcoming four-game road trip that starts Monday in Seattle. Levi's presence on the NHL roster suggests he'll be in the mix to start against Seattle on Monday or Vancouver on Tuesday. However, the team has not revealed its goaltending plans yet.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Gives up four goals Sunday
Rotowire
Levi stopped 36 of 40 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Levi made his first start since Nov. 16 after being called up from the minors, but he didn't look good. His recent numbers haven't been positive, as Levi has gone 1-3-0 with a 4.05 GAA and an .873 save percentage across his last four appearances at the NHL level. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and James Reimer entrenched as the two top options between the pipes, Levi doesn't figure to see a lot of ice time going forward.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Starting in Toronto
Rotowire
Levi will guard the road goal Sunday against the Maple Leafs after being recalled from AHL Rochester, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 27 saves on 30 shots in Saturday's loss to Washington, and James Reimer was the backup. It's unclear why the Sabres brought up Levi, but head coach Lindy Ruff mentioned the lineup will have some game-time decisions. Levi has a 2-5-0 record with a 3.95 GAA and an .870 save percentage in seven NHL outings this season.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Fifth defeat of season Saturday
Rotowire
Levi stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. Philadelphia's fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Levi made his second straight start with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) sidelined once again, and the results weren't pretty. Levi has posted a sub-.890 save percentage in each of his last five outings, going 1-4-0 with a 4.60 GAA and .846 save percentage in that stretch. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Levi will remain between the pipes until Luukkonen is ready to return, unless the coaching staff decides to give James Reimer an opportunity amid Levi's struggles.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Back in win column
Rotowire
Levi stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Levi made his sixth appearance of the season Thursday and picked up his second win in the process. The 22-year-old had lost three consecutive contests before Rasmus Dahlin buried the winning goal in overtime. Levi will be hard to trust due to his lack of consistent playing time -- his last start before Thursday was Nov. 1. The Quebec native is sporting a 2-4-0 record, .870 save percentage and 3.87 GAA.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Draws start Thursday
Rotowire
Levi will be between the pipes for Thursday's home game against St. Louis, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Levi operated in the starter's crease during Thursday's practice session, and he'll officially draw the start since Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will be sidelined. Over five appearances this season, Levi has posted a 1-4-0 record, 4.10 GAA and .866 save percentage.
