Overview
- Levi has won each of his first four starts for the Oilers, recording 11 goals allowed and a .903 save percentage across those games.
- He opened with a rough 9-7 debut but then stopped 87 of 91 shots over his next three outings, which has prompted coach Mike Babcock to keep turning to him.
- Tristan Jarry began the season as the presumptive starter but has shown uneven form, opening a real competition for the primary crease.
- Frederik Andersen is on long‑term injured reserve with a knee issue and is being treated as a possible midseason return option, keeping the club’s goaltending plans unsettled.
- Edmonton acquired Levi from Buffalo for a 2028 third‑ and seventh‑round pick after most of his recent work in the AHL, a move that raises questions about draft cost, short‑term stability and the team’s long‑term goalie depth.
