After blowing out the Senators on Tuesday, I was fully expecting the Sabres to lay an egg in Manhattan on Thursday.  Instead, they scored on the first shift of the game and didn't look back.  The Sabres won 6-1, with all twelve forwards getting at least one point in the game, just the second time that's happened in team history.  Besides the top line continuing to dominate, the big story here is Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.  UPL saved 25 of 26 shots on Thursday, with the lone goal a completely fluky deflection that looped over him.  Based on expected goals metrics, this was a second monster game in a row for Luukkonen, with the Detroit game before that also a solid performance.  He's getting back to the goalie that he was last season, which makes him a solid #2 in fantasy.  The upside is there for a bottom end #1 because UPL is the clear #1 with Levi the backup.  In fact, if Anaheim waives Reimer when Gibson comes back shortly, I would not be surprised in the slightest if the Sabres claim Reimer back and send Levi down I-90 to Rochester.  Let's take a look at what else happened the last two nights:
We wrap up my goaltending rankings with tiers four and below.  Not all 64 goalies that project to be in the NHL will be ranked.  For the really bad teams, I will mention their starters but won't mention their backups.  I also won't be ranking goalies I have no interest in streaming to start the season, or if the backup goaltending situation is unclear like with Reimer and Levi in Buffalo.  If you missed part one, you can check the first three tiers and top 18 goalies here.  Let's get to it!
