Sabres List Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Day-to-Day With Lower-Body Issue To Start Camp

Buffalo reports clean imaging, easing concern about the starter's availability.

Overview

  • General manager Kevyn Adams said Luukkonen will miss the opening of training camp with a lower-body tweak and does not require surgery.
  • Luukkonen was not on the ice as camp opened, and his readiness for the regular season remains unclear.
  • Adams said the club signed Alexandar Georgiev to a one-year, $825,000 deal as precautionary depth, joining fellow veteran Alex Lyon on a two-year contract.
  • Adams indicated top prospect Devon Levi will likely continue developing in the minors and remains waiver-exempt.
  • Winger Alex Tuch is day-to-day with a minor issue, and Jordan Greenway had a second core operation in July and is expected to miss the preseason with a potential return around opening night.
