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

October 13, 2024
Levi made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Nate Schmidt finished an odd-man rush for Florida midway through the first period to open the scoring, but Buffalo scored the next four goals in support of its 22-year-old goalie, and Levi cruised from there. He's looked good in his first two starts of 2024-25, posting a .919 save percentage on 62 shots, but Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is still expected to see the majority of the action in the crease for the Sabres this season.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to be in NHL in 2024-25
GBuffalo Sabres
August 20, 2024
Levi is expected to begin in the NHL in 2024-25, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is the Sabres' incumbent No. 1 in goal, and the team also signed James Reimer in the offseason as a veteran backup option. Committing to keeping Levi in the NHL could see the Sabres roster three goalies early on, or they could waive Reimer for some roster flexibility. Levi went 10-8-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 23 appearances in the NHL last year, but he remains the Sabres' presumptive goalie of the future.
