The Crease on Opening Night

[Porous Five Hole]

I posted this in the training camp thread, but wanted to talk about where we are.  There are only four preseason games and they start Monday. 

Should we be preparing for Devon Levi to be G1 on opening night?

UPL is hurt and not much info is available for a timeline. Lyon is an NHL backup who can get hot. Georgiev is a lotto ticket who was signed as a just in case. 
 

Are we here expecting UPL out and Lyon or Levi as a starter? Who owns the crease on Oct 9? It is only 2.5 weeks away. Is Devon the plan?

I assume Lyon gets the nod unless Georgiev outperforms him in camp

No, we should be preparing for Lyon

I'd think that if UPL is still injured and not yet up to speed that we'd see Lyon, or maybe even Georgiev, as the plan seems to be to allow Levi additional time to develop in Rochester.  That said, training camp and the preseason have not even started yet, so maybe the Sabres are waiting to see who performs the best.  If Levi looks the best in camp & preseason action, should he get the net on opening night?  And if so, what's the plan for Rochester?

Which 2 preseason games are getting cancelled?  😉   They have h&h's with Columbus, Detroit, & the Pens.

The league isn't going to 84 games in the RS until next year.  It's still 6 - 82 & 1st to 16 out of 28 this time around.  NEXT year they reduce the PS.
