Devon Levi

Levi signed a three-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres, ending his Northeastern career and beginning a new one in the NHL.

Levi is the third Northeastern player to sign with an NHL team this week. He was previously named a Hockey East first-team all-star, conference goalie of the year and a finalist for the Mike Richter Award, given to the nation’s best goalie. In 2022, Levi Levi was drafted by the Florida Panthers in the seventh round of the 2020 NHL Draft, but his rights were traded to the Sabres in 2021. “I’ve been dreaming of this moment my whole life, so for it to finally be here, it’s a big deal. Former Northeastern goalie Devon Levi will make NHL debut for the Sabres vs.

The Buffalo Sabres stay alive in the playoff race thanks to some stellar goaltending from, you guessed it, Devon Levi, who made 31 saves in his NHL debut.

Just two weeks ago, I said it’d be unwise to play the rookie goaltender, but for at least one night, Levi and the Sabres proved me wrong.

With all due respect to 17-year NHL veteran Jaroslav Halak, tonight's game is all about Devon Levi. To me, he's the most exciting goaltending prospect to come ...

The key for the Sabres is to be patient with him. Tonight is the first step in a long journey. He has all the tools to be an outstanding NHL goaltender, but there are things to keep an eye on. Maybe the saving grace is that the Rangers are playing their second game in two days, and the Sabres haven’t played since Monday. Levi has had nearly two weeks of practice with the Sabres – more than enough time to acclimate to the NHL. To me, he’s the most exciting goaltending prospect to come out of the NCAA Div.

Jeff Skinner a mis fin au débat à 1 : 50 de la prolongation et les Sabres de Buffalo ont battu les Rangers de New York 3-2, vendredi soir.

Le mois de mars de Levi a été pour le moins mouvementé. Nino Niederreiter a inscrit l’autre but de la formation du Manitoba. Il y a à peine une quinzaine de jours, le gardien montréalais évoluait encore avec les Huskies de l’Université Northeastern. « Devon a été bon du début à la fin. Ses mouvements et sa vision étaient bien », a mentionné l’entraîneur-chef Don Granato. Sa performance lui a d’ailleurs valu la première étoile du match.
