Devon Levi - NHL News & Rumors

Strong in AHL shootout loss Levi stopped 38 of 39 shots in AHL Rochester's 2-1 shootout loss to Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Levi also stopped seven of eight shootout attempts, but it wasn't enough. He's now 10-4-3 with a 2.79 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 17 AHL games this year, though his numbers are noticeably down from last year's 2.20 GAA and .919 save percentage over 42 regular-season contests. Levi is unlikely to be an NHL option this season as the Sabres opt to stick with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon, as well as Colten Ellis (concussion) once he's healthy.

Earns shutout over Laval Levi posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 4-0 win over Laval on Friday.

Impact Levi has been tasked with dominating the AHL this season, and he's off to a 3-0-0 start. He's allowed seven goals on 76 shots over his first three games, but he also posted his first shutout of the season Friday, which was the eighth of his AHL career. The Sabres are carrying three goalies on the NHL roster now that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is healthy -- until that logjam is cleared, Levi will remain in Rochester.

Sent to AHL Rochester Levi was assigned to AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact The Sabres made a big purge from their camp roster, sending 24 players to continue their preseason activities at the AHL level. Levi is among the most notable cuts, as it indicates the Sabres are leaning toward starting 2025-26 with Alex Lyon and Alexandar Georgiev if Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) isn't ready by Opening Night. Levi figures to handle a starter's workload with Rochester this season as he looks to force his way into the Sabres' NHL plans sooner rather than later.

Snags two-year deal Levi agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.625 million contract with Buffalo on Wednesday.

Impact Levi saw action in just nine NHL games last year in which he posted a sub-optimal 2-7-0 record, 4.12 GAA and .872 save percentage. With the team bringing in Alex Lyon in free agency, the 23-year-old Levi may face an uphill battle to secure the No. 2 spot in the crease. Given his age, Levi looks like he could benefit from another campaign as the starter with AHL Rochester.

Returned to minors Levi was shipped down to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Impact Levi was disappointing in his last five outings, posting a 1-4-0 record and 4.31 GAA along the way. The decision to send the 23-year-old netminder back to the Americans is a strong indication that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will be available to at least serve as the backup against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Gives up five goals Levi conceded five goals on 33 shots in Monday's 6-4 defeat to Seattle.

Impact While Levi has played in five of the Sabres' last seven outings, his performances have been underwhelming. During that stretch, the 23-year-old backstop is 1-4-0 with a 4.31 GAA and .867 save percentage. At this point, the youngster may be better suited to sit behind James Reimer -- at least until Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) is cleared to return.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine against Seattle Levi will serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road matchup against the Kraken, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Levi was called up by the Sabres on Saturday, and he'll draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's made eight appearances in the NHL this year, going 2-6-0 with a 3.97 GAA and .876 save percentage.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Saturday Levi was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Ryan McLeod (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. This move leaves the Sabres with just 12 healthy forwards, though it's possible the team deploys seven defensemen if Jiri Kulich (lower body) can't play during the upcoming four-game road trip that starts Monday in Seattle. Levi's presence on the NHL roster suggests he'll be in the mix to start either in Seattle or in Vancouver on Tuesday, though the team has not revealed its goaltending plans yet.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to minors Levi was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Monday.

Impact In Levi's last four outings, he posted a 1-3-0 record, 4.05 GAA and .873 save percentage. With nobody winning games in Buffalo right now, the team is 0-7-3 in its last 10 games, it is understandable that the club would try to make some tweaks but it appears deploying Levi was not the move.

Gives up four goals Sunday Levi stopped 36 of 40 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Levi made his first start since Nov. 16 after being called up from the minors, but he didn't look good. His recent numbers haven't been positive, as Levi has gone 1-3-0 with a 4.05 GAA and an .873 save percentage across his last four appearances at the NHL level. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and James Reimer entrenched as the two top options between the pipes, Levi doesn't figure to see a lot of ice time going forward.

Starting in Toronto Levi will guard the road goal Sunday against the Maple Leafs after being recalled from AHL Rochester, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 27 saves on 30 shots in Saturday's loss to Washington, and James Reimer was the backup. It's unclear why the Sabres brought up Levi, but head coach Lindy Ruff mentioned the lineup will have some game-time decisions. Levi has a 2-5-0 record with a 3.95 GAA and an .870 save percentage in seven NHL outings this season.
