In the game, goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen left the game in the first period after allowing a goal to the Leafs Auston Matthews, and did not practice on Monday, as he was being examined by the club’s medical staff. On Tuesday, head coach Lindy Ruff indicated that the Sabres netminder will miss some time with a lower-body injury, which could affect his status for the upcoming Olympics.
