Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Takes tough loss against CanucksLuukkonen made 22 saves in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Vancouver.
ImpactSam Lafferty banged home a greasy goal early in the second period, but Luukkonen was able to handle everything else the Canucks fired his way. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Thatcher Demko was just that much better in the other crease. It's Luukkonen's first regulation loss since Dec. 19, snapping a 3-0-1 run, and on the season the 24-year-old is 9-9-2 with a 2.91 GAA and .901 save percentage. He'll likely continue splitting duties with Devon Levi, barring a hot streak from one of the young netminders.

Sam Lafferty - Scores game-winner for goal No. 10Lafferty scored the only goal in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Sabres.
ImpactThe 28-year-old had a point shot hit him early in the second period while he was parked in front of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and Lafferty was able to sweep the loose puck into the net after it fell at his feet. That proved to be all the offense Thatcher Demko would need. Lafferty's bottom-six role doesn't afford him much of a fantasy ceiling, but he's still on pace for a career-best season with 10 goals and 19 points in 43 games -- although that goal-scoring pace is buoyed by 21.7 percent shooting that likely isn't sustainable.
