The Buffalo Sabres signed goalie Devon Levi to a three-year entry-level contract on Friday. This move comes less than a week after Levi completed his junior season at Northeastern.
Levi’s arrival at the Sabres comes after the player won the Mike Richter Award as college hockey’s top goalie last season. This season, he once again finds himself as a finalist after producing a .923 save percentage; the highest at the college level nationwide. The 21-year-old also leads Hockey East with 4 wins, six shutouts, a 1.81 goals-against average, and a .947 save percentage.
With Levi in the mix, the Sabres will have a rotation of three goaltenders to choose from, including Eric Comrie and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, both of whom have a contract with the team through the end of next season.
Despite missing his freshman year due to injury, Levi finished his college career with a 38-22-6 record along with a 1.9 goals-against average and 16 shutouts.
After helping Canada to win the silver medal at the 2021 world junior championship, Levi was named the world junior championship tournament’s top goaltender.
