He has only had a save percentage above .900 in two of his 12 appearances this season and has allowed 12 goals on 68 shots in his last three outings. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has been much better with a 2.71 GAA and .914 save percentage in 10 games.
Buffalo ranks 18th in goals allowed per game (3.33) and 25th in goals scored (2.81). They have a bottom-10 power-play and top-10 penalty kill and are 4-5-2 on the road this season. Rasmus Dahlin, Casey Mittlestadt, and Jeff Skinner are tied for the team lead in NHL player stats with 17 points.
