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

ImpactTampa 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.

ImpactHe helped set up a Nick Paul tally in the first period and a Calvin de Haan empty-netter in the third. Hagel has found the scoresheet in six of the last seven games, producing three goals and eight points over that stretch as the 25-year-old winger remains on pace for his second straight 60-point campaign.

Devon Levi - Back in NHLLevi was summoned from AHL Rochester on Sunday.

ImpactIn a corresponding move, Eric Comrie was returned to the minors. Levi made 14 saves on 17 shots in a 7-3 win over Springfield on Saturday. The 22-year-old netminder has an 8-7-2 record with a 3.32 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 19 NHL appearances this season.

Jonas Johansson - Gets win No. 10Johansson made 26 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

ImpactA Dylan Cozens tally midway through the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but Johansson otherwise didn't have much difficulty containing Buffalo's offense. The 28-year-old has been used sparingly since Andrei Vasilevskiy returned to the lineup, and Saturday's start was just Johansson's third since the beginning of December. On the season, he's 10-6-5 in 22 appearances with a 3.34 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Nicholas Paul - Two-point effort in victoryPaul emerged with a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

ImpactPaul opened the scoring with an even-strength tally, and he put forth an empty-net assist as a nice complement to his sixth multi-point effort of the campaign. Currently operating in a top-six role, Paul is well on his way to a breakout season based on 12 goals and 13 assists through 46 contests.
