Luukkonen stopped 26 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers. Two of the goals came on Florida power plays, but the Buffalo defense was overwhelmed, giving Luukkonen little help. It's his first regulation loss over his last five starts, but on the season the 25-year-old is 3-3-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .890 save percentage, numbers that represent a significant step back from Luukkonen's performance in 2023-24.

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.

Luukkonen has won back-to-back starts, but through five outings he sports just a 2-2-1 record with a 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Luukkonen is set to guard the home goal against Dallas on Tuesday, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald. Luukkonen is 1-2-1 with a 3.26 GAA and an .895 save percentage through four starts in 2024-25. While those aren't impressive numbers, he did turn aside 35 of 37 shots to earn a 4-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday. Dallas is 5-1-0 this season, though the offense has left something to be desired and is tied for 21st with 2.83 goals per game.
