Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy will start tonight against the Sabres, his third game in nine days since getting called up from AHL Syracuse.
Vasilevskiy, 21, has had his share of success against Buffalo - allowing two goals in three starts (all wins) - but coach Jon Cooper said he's starting more due to scheduling.
"I don't think Vasilevskiy's sample size is enough to sit here and say, 'Oh my God, he owns Buffalo,'" Cooper said. "It's all schedule based and we believe both goalies can win. It doesn't matter who we put in."
Vasilevskiy, who missed the first month of the season due to vascular surgery, has looked sharp in winning his first two starts.
