Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Fades late against Jets Luukkonen gave up three goals on 33 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Jets. The fourth and fifth goals were empty-netters.
Impact Luukkonen and the Sabres had a 2-1 lead heading into the third period but the Jets sent a furious barrage of shots - 14 total in the period - to mount a comeback for the Jets. He allowed two goals half way through the period and Winnipeg finished off the game with two empty-netters. It was still a solid outing for Luukkonen as he ended up with a .909 save percentage. With six wins in his last nine starts, Luukkonen is currently a valuable asset for fantasy hockey managers seeking a reliable goaltender with upside potential.

Eric Robinson - Adds two apples in big win Robinson supplied two assists in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Robinson isn't afforded many offensive opportunities as a fourth-line contributor, but the Sabres posted a plus-11 shot differential to prop up the winger's numbers in the commanding win. Robinson, who started the season with the Blue Jackets, has two goals and seven assists through 33 games between the two teams.

Casey Mittelstadt - Two points in huge win Mittelstadt supplied a power-play goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Both of Mittelstadt's points took place in the third period, when Buffalo ripped the twine to the tune of four unanswered goals in a span of about 15 minutes. The seventh-year pivot currently leads the team in assists (33) and total points (47) through 61 games, and he's rocking a plus-14 rating to complement eight points on the man advantage. Mittelstadt remains a fair distance from the elite cast of forwards, yet there's no denying the recent growth in his game.
