Impact Luukkonen has won five of his past seven outings, stopping 165 of 174 shots and registering two shutouts during that span.

Erik Johnson - Out next two games Johnson (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Anaheim or Wednesday versus LA, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Although Johnson will miss the next two contests, he could return for the Sabres' final game before the All-Star break Saturday against San Jose. Either way, he's picked up only three points through 41 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his availability.

Erik Johnson - Traveling with team Johnson (upper body) will join the team on its three-game California road trip, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Monday.

Impact Johnson has managed just one point in his last 23 appearances, so few fantasy players will be anxiously awaiting his return to the lineup. Even once given the all-clear, Johnson could periodically find himself watching from the sidelines as a healthy scratch in favor of Ryan Johnson.

Jacob Bryson - Recalled from AHL Bryson was summoned from AHL Rochester on Monday.

Impact Bryson will accompany the Sabres on the team's upcoming road trip in California. He will probably continue to serve as an extra defender unless injuries occur.

Sunday's Transactions HOCKEY National Hockey League BUFFALO SABRES — Recalled G Devon Levi from Rochester (AHL).

JANUARY 21 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Falls to Bolts Luukkonen stopped 13 of 15 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Tampa Bay's final goal was scored into an empty net. Luukkonen carried plenty of momentum into this one, having recorded back-to-back shutouts against two of the NHL's weakest clubs in Chicago and San Jose, but his luck didn't hold against tougher competition. The Bolts scored two goals in less than a minute in the first period, and the Sabres' offense couldn't respond. Luukkonen has yet to allow more than three goals in a January start, going 4-2-0 to begin the month with a 1.18 GAA and .955 save percentage and seizing the top job in the Buffalo crease.

Jacob Bryson - Assigned to minors Bryson was sent to AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Bryson, who has only played in three games this season, hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 4 against Toronto. If he stays in the minors for a bit, he should get some much-needed playing time. Bryson had nine points, 27 shots on goal, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits in 59 appearances with the Sabres during the 2022-23 campaign.
