Crisis in the crease: Sabres turn to Dell and Houser with Luukkonen and Subban out

‘”It’s unlucky and it’s not fun,” defenseman Rasmus Dahlin said. “‘Uppy’ (Luukkonen) is having a great few games here lately and it stinks when they get injured for sure. Four goalies out. What can you do? We have other goalies that can stop pucks. We’re a team. So new goalies came in and we really trust them now, too.”‘

Sabres Notebook: Rasmus Dahlin could get the nod to make All-Star debut

‘The former No. 1 overall pick looks to be the best candidate for the Atlantic Division team on the Buffalo roster for the skills competition Feb. 4 and the game in Las Vegas on Feb. 5. He has six goals and 16 assists, on pace for a career-high 51 points, and could become the first Buffalo defenseman with a 15-goal season since Alexei Zhitnik in 1997-98.’

Injuries put struggling Sabres in goalie crisis: ‘It is shocking’

‘The Sabres, who have a six-game winless skid, had no other options.’

Sabres notes: Why was Jack Quinn sent back to Amerks after one game?

‘But Kyle Okposo and Alex Tuch have left protocol and appear to be ready to play Thursday against the Nashville Predators.’

Sabres sign Houser to shore up injury-depleted goalie depth

‘Houser was signed to an NHL contract after spending this season splitting time between Buffalo’s minor-league affiliates in Rochester and Cincinnati. The 29-year-old made his NHL debut with the Sabres, going 2-2 in four games last season.’

Sabres without four goalies to injuries, Covid

‘Needless to say, things are pretty bleak in the Sabres’ crease these days.’

The Sabres lose Luukkonen and Subban to injury

‘That means the Sabres are down to their fifth and sixth string goalies. Aaron Dell got called up from Rochester. With the Amerks this season Dell’s 5-0-0 with a 2.76 goals against and .910 save percentage. With Buffalo he’s 0-5-0 with a 4.52 goals against and .872 save percentage. Rasmus Dahlin said even though they have four goalies out, they have to stay positive, “Four goalies out, what can you do? We have other goalies that can stop pucks, so we’re a team so new goalies come in and we really trust the goalies we have right now.”’

Hamilton Take2: Despite rash of injuries at goalie, Sabres must stay patient

‘Of course there’s mass panic on Twitter because what will the Sabres do as they compete for 28th place in the NHL? How does it make any sense at all to trade valuable young players for a goalie or sign one to a ridiculous free agent deal when you have three of the best goalie prospects in the NHL?’

Houser returns as Sabres manage more injuries in net

‘The Sabres signed Houser to a one-year contract prior to practice in the wake of injuries to Luukkonen and Malcolm Subban, both of which occurred during Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. If Houser appears in a game, he will once again be Buffalo’s sixth goalie in a single season. Buffalo also recalled Aaron Dell from Rochester prior to practice.’
