Omitting a horrible performance on December 19 when he allowed four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%), Levi has been tremendous this month, posting a .932 SV% in five December contests (4-0-1). Levi will likely return to the crease for the Sabres on Wednesday, his third start in their last four games, in a challenging matchup against the struggling Boston Bruins. The Sabres are +130 road underdogs against a Bruins team that has lost four straight (0-2-2).


The Sabres will hope Levi can erase a forgettable Tuesday night performance from his memory as the rookie goaltender was amid a terrific stretch leading up to it. On Tuesday, Levi was pulled after allowing four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%) in an eventual 9-4 loss at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets. He had won three of four (3-0-1) leading up to that contest, allowing two or fewer goals in each, posting a sparkling .942 SV%. The Sabres are +127 road underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that is 6-1-3 in their last 10.

Levi has been tremendous since re-joining the Sabres after a brief stint in the AHL, allowing two or fewer goals in all four games (3-0-1) and sporting a marvellous .942 SV%. Levi will start on Tuesday in a favourable matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, as the Sabres are sizeable -181 home favourites against a team that has lost five of their last seven contests (2-4-1). Levi will have started five of seven games for the Sabres since being recalled and is clearly the favourite between the pipes for the Sabres coaching staff.

Shea has been a regular in the lineup for the Penguins this season but has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. His placement on unconditional waivers coincides with Chad Ruhwedel preparing to return to the Penguins lineup and Pierre-Olivier Joseph returning last week.

Joseph left Friday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return. With the Senators recalling two forwards from Belleville (AHL) on Saturday, it signals that Joseph will not play Sunday in Vegas.




Levi has been excellent since returning from a brief stint in the AHL and will start for the fourth time in five games for the Sabres. In his last three games (2-0-1), Levi has only allowed five goals, showing the pedigree that made him a high-end prospect, posting a tremendous .942 SV%. The Sabres are +178 road underdogs in their first matchup of the season against the Vegas Golden Knights, who are riding a four-game winning streak, outscoring their opposition 22-12.

Brown will sit this one out as the Coyotes look to keep things fresh on the tail-end of their back-to-back. He has one goal and two assists in 20 games with the Coyotes this season.

Pierre-Olivier Joseph will re-enter the lineup after a brief conditioning stint with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL), as Shea will watch the game from the press box as a healthy scratch. Shea has zero points in 22 games this season, averaging 12:28 time-on-ice.

Despite a losing 8-10-2 record, Jarry is arguably stringing together the best season of his career, showcasing a 2.48 GAA and .918 SV%, along with leading the league with three shutouts. The Penguins have hovered around .500 all season (11-12-3), partly due to their inability to provide Jarry with ample goal support, highlighted by their 30th-ranked powerplay (9.5%). That said, Jarry and the low-scoring Penguins are still -192 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes team that played last night and is amid a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).
