‘Luukkonen made 11 saves, but the Sabres lifted Luukkonen after the first period. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said that Luukkonen didn’t feel quite right in goal, even after he made his first saves. “We took him out, precautionary, and we’ll see where he’s at (Thursday),” Ruff said. “We didn’t want to really risk anything. I thought he looked good, but we don’t want to take a chance with him.”’
