Sabres' Devon Levi: Tagged with loss Friday
Devon Levi allowed four goals on 36 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.Levi performed admirably in Friday's loss but didn't receive much help from his teammates in the defensive zone. The 22-year-old's previous outing was a 6-4 loss to Columbus on Oct. 17, so he shouldn't be on the radar of most fantasy managers due to his inconsistent playing time. Levi and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have struggled early on as Buffalo is off to a sluggish 4-6-1 start. Levi is sporting a 1-3-0 record, an .878 save percentage and a 3.91 GAA through four appearances.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Jumped by Jackets
Devon Levi made 19 saves in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.The Buffalo Sabres never led in the game, looking sluggish after their overtime loss to the Penguins on Wednesday and falling into a 2-0 hole before the first intermission. Levi had allowed just five goals on 62 shots in his first two starts of the season, but while the bad night is likely more indicative of the play of his teammates, Columbus clearly had a book on the young netminder and consistently targeted him glove side. Expect Buffalo to turn back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for Saturday's game in Chicago.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Snags win over champs
Devon Levi made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.Nate Schmidt finished an odd-man rush for Florida midway through the first period to open the scoring, but Buffalo scored the next four goals in support of its 22-year-old goalie, and Levi cruised from there. He's looked good in his first two starts of 2024-25, posting a .919 save percentage on 62 shots, but Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is still expected to see the majority of the action in the crease for the Buffalo Sabres this season.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Bright light in loss
Devon Levi made 34 saves on 37 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey in Czechia as part of the NHL Global Series.While he didn't get the win in his season debut, Levi showed his skills on a world stage. And those skills are elite. Levi was one of the best players on the ice, and he was the reason the score only favored the Devils by two. His mates only mustered 18 shots on Jake Allen at the other end. Levi won't be the top dog in Buffalo this season or in 2025-25 either, but this young man should get another chance at being a starter.

Sabres' Devon Levi: In goal Monday
Devon Levi will get the starting nod at home versus Columbus on Monday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.Levi featured in 23 NHL games for the Buffalo Sabres last year, going 10-8-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .899 save percentage. Perhaps a strong preseason could change things up, but he seems destined for the AHL with Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen and James Reimer seemingly cemented in the NHL jobs for Buffalo. As such, Levi figures to be an attractive fantasy option only for managers in dynasty and keeper formats.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Sent to AHL
Devon Levi was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.Levi has a 10-8-2 record, 3.10 GAA and .899 save percentage in 23 contests this season. Buffalo was carrying three healthy goaltenders, including Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Eric Comrie, so moving Levi to the minors will allow the 22-year-old to get in some extra work. While the 2023-24 campaign has been far from ideal for Levi, he still has the potential to eventually develop into the Buffalo Sabres' starting goaltender.
