Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Improves Save Percentage To .936 | Buffalo Sabres Defeat Carolina Hurricanes
Confidence in that shootout uh coming at you I mean there were some other shootouts maybe in your career where it hasn’t gone as well but it looked like you were filled with confidence in this one yeah uh sometimes goes your way and sometime doesn’t but um you know I’ve
Been playing well uh you know so the confidence is high anyways kind of so you know that kind of feels feels good to go to shoot out at that point I I feel like I was playing well in the game too so you know you feel good going to
The shoot on and you just want to win the game what did it feel like to get that stop on AO after the interaction you had earlier in over time no I felt good um you know it’s always fun to go against the fin so um especially when
They make the save but um yeah I felt good to you know get the shootout and uh going with a good start do you know him very well or not at all I don’t know him that well I met him you know once or twice but you know I I think he’s good
Guy do you know what to expect from him when you’re facing him you know in the studies that you do with the Bales and stuff not really you you don’t you kind of if there’s guys who do the same move every time you kind of try to SC that
Off but you know otherwise than that you don’t want to kind of get in your own head when it comes to the shootouts you kind of want to go with the flow and read the player uh so you know we didn’t do you know crazy amount of scouting was
The first 40 minutes kind of what you expected a very tight game both ways yeah well they played yesterday so we kind of knew what we were inating for uh they don’t necessarily you know come us come us hard but they will defend you know solid and well and just you know
Dump pucks but um I think we played really well uh both tce today um you know we could have have a couple more goals uh their goal had played well too so um you know overall I think it was a good game does it mean anything more for
You to finally get that three- game winning streak something that’s alluded you guys all year yeah 100% um you know you don’t you don’t think about it or try to think about it but you know when we’re chasing a playoff spot we know that we have to get those so it’s it’s a
Good feeling to me and good feeling for the team how does that win streak maybe speak to the consistency that you guys are maybe finally being able to put together year that’s been inconsistent for you guys you know I feel like it’s I talked about how K be playing
Defensively too so I think that’s showing off uh you know uh that I think you know there hasn’t been crazy high scoring games that much and we kind of turning around the low scoring games now too so I think you know uh how well we play defense that’s uh showing off
Now it’s great you know everybody knows how well he can move the puck and you know how how how good of a player he is so you know he’s big part of our team um big part of the locker room so it was great to have him back

I❤ ukko pekka luukkonen he my fav goalie
He’s been playing fantastic…..top of the league since January 1st. But his save percentage isn’t .936……..it’s .913
I backed UPL since day 1, altho many wanted him traded for a bag of Pucks. stay Classy UPL, keep rolling
😁 Lets Go Sabres 🏒 🥅
