Luukkonen Back on Ice for Sabres

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen suits up for practice with the Sabres, a sight that's got Buffalo's locker room buzzing after his nagging injury sidelined the young netminder. Coaches kept him out cautiously, knowing how thin that goaltending depth chart runs when your top guy goes down. Everyone in the front office remembers the scramble last time, and with the standings tight, his return ramps up the pressure to stabilize that crease before the push.
