Poolers: Players to target for January 17 matches

GUARDIAN

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen or James Reimer, BUF (vs PIT) – The Sabres, winners of three of their last four games, are for a rare time favorites in a duel as they will cross swords against the Penguins, authors of only one victory in their eight most recent clashes (1-4- 3). Luukkonen, who should be a starter, has an astonishing 6-2-1 record in his last nine games, with a 2.66 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in addition to posting one shutout. . The Penguins are only scoring 2.38 goals per game since the start of their unsuccessful streak, which should make the job easier for the Sabers goaltender.
