Luukkonen made 22 saves in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
It looked like Luukkonen might be in for an easy afternoon when Buffalo grabbed a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but Detroit tied it up midway through the frame. The 25-year-old stood tall the rest of the way, however. After going 0-2-1 through his first three starts of the season, Luukkonen has now won three straight, giving up seven goals on 92 shots during that streak.
