Overview
- Levi won his first four starts for the Oilers, a run reported in mid-October that included a 39-save performance against the Los Angeles Kings.
- After allowing seven goals in his debut, Levi stopped 87 of 91 shots over his next three starts and improved his play enough to earn continued looks from the coaching staff.
- Levi’s hot start has made him a clear challenger to Tristan Jarry for Edmonton’s primary netminder spot as Jarry struggles for consistent form.
- Frederik Andersen remains on long-term injured reserve with a serious knee issue and head coach Mike Babcock has said Andersen may return in December, which will affect the team’s starter decision.
- The club acquired Levi from Buffalo for 2028 draft picks and the quick emergence of a young goalie changes short-term roster choices and could influence Edmonton’s postseason outlook.
