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.
DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Headed for minors Levi be sent down to AHL Rochester after head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters Monday, "He needs to play, simple as that."
Impact Levi becomes the odd man out after the team reacquired James Reimer off the waiver wire. The 22-year-old Levi has made seven appearances for the Sabres this season but is just 2-5-0 with a 3.95 GAA in those outings. With Levi headed back to the Americans, it will be Reimer who serves as the No. 2 option behind Ukka-Pekke Luukkonen (undisclosed).
NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Fifth defeat of season Saturday Levi stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 18 seconds left in the third period.
Impact Levi made his second straight start with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) being sidelined once again, and the results weren't pretty. He's posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in his last five outings, going 1-4-0 with a 4.60 GAA and a .846 SV% in that stretch. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Levi will remain between the pipes until Luukkonen is ready to return, unless the coaching staff decides to give James Reimer an opportunity amid Levi's struggles.

Facing Flyers Levi will be between the visiting pipes in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Impact Levi will make his second straight start with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen out of action with an undisclosed injury. Levi is 2-4-0 with a 3.87 GAA and an .870 save percentage across six appearances this season. The Flyers are averaging 2.71 goals per game.

Back in win column Levi stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Impact Levi made his sixth appearance of the season Thursday and picked up his second win in the process. The 22-year-old had lost three consecutive contests before Rasmus Dahlin buried the winning goal in overtime. Levi will be hard to trust due to his lack of consistent playing time -- his last start before Thursday was Nov. 1. The Quebec native is sporting a 2-4-0 record, .870 save percentage and 3.87 GAA.
NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Draws start Thursday Levi will be between the pipes for Thursday's home game against St. Louis, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Levi operated in the starter's crease during Thursday's practice session, and he'll officially draw the start since Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will be sidelined. Over five appearances this season, Levi has posted a 1-0=4-0 record, 4.10 GAA and .866 save percentage.

Receives loss in relief Levi allowed two goals on four shots in Monday's 7-5 loss to Montreal. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) stopped 14 of 18 shots before leaving the game, and Montreal's seventh mar...
Impact Levi was saddled with the loss despite logging just 18:50 of ice time in the game. Following an injury sustained during Sunday's practice, Luukkonen left Monday's game after the second period. Levi could get the nod for Thursday's home matchup versus St. Louis if Luukkonen isn't available.
