Luukkonen will guard the home cage versus Minnesota on Saturday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
Luukkonen will look for his fourth straight win against a depleted Wild lineup that is missing its entire second line of Matt Boldy (undisclosed), Marcus Johansson (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). Luukkonen is 10-6-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 17 starts this season. Minnesota sits 17th in the league with 3.06 goals per game in 2025-26.
