2024 Fantasy Outlook
Levi split time between Buffalo and AHL Rochester last season. Expectations of instant NHL stardom were simply too much, but he thrived in the minors once he went down in January. Levi posted a 16-6-4 record and 2.42 GAA in 26 games with the Amerks, and started to look every bit the star people believed he'd be. His 2024-25 seems set in the AHL after the Sabres inked Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to a five-year deal in late July. Honestly, that's good for Levi and the Sabres, too, at least for a couple of seasons. The young netminder can grow his game and then move into the backup role in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks

Headed for minors

Levi will be sent down to AHL Rochester after head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters Monday, "He needs to play, simple as that."
ANALYSIS
Levi became the odd man out after the team reacquired James Reimer off the waiver wire. The 22-year-old Levi has made seven appearances for the Sabres this season but is just 2-5-0 with a 3.95 GAA in those outings. With Levi headed back to the Americans, it will be Reimer who serves as the No. 2 option behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed).

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Although Levi wasn't selected until the No. 212 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, at this point his potential is clear. He was a phenomenal netminder with Northeastern University, posting a 2.24 GAA and a .933 save percentage in 34 NCAA games as a junior last year. He also got a taste of the NHL with Buffalo, recording a 5-2-0 record, 2.94 GAA and .905 save percentage in seven starts. While those numbers with the Sabres don't look great, he didn't get much help defensively, which is highlighted by him finishing the campaign with 3.1 goals saved above expected. Unfortunately, Buffalo might not be able to help him much more defensively this season. The 21-year-old goaltender might also go through some growing pains, which further makes him a risk. Still, he's positioned to start the campaign as Buffalo's starting goaltender and that, combined with his sky-high potential, makes him an interesting fantasy option.

Working in starter's net

November 15, 2024
Levi operated in the starter's crease during Friday's practice, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports, indicating he could get the start for Saturday's road game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
While Levi appears to be in line for the start following his usage at practice, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, was on the ice for practice, and he could be in the mix to draw the start if he's cleared to play. Levi has made six appearances this year, posting a 2-4-0 record, 3.87 GAA and .870 save percentage.
