Buffalo Sabres prospect Devon Levi hasn’t treated the Rochester Americans as a pit stop on the way to a career in Buffalo, even though he was one of the rare goalie prospects to jump immediately ...

But signing Lyon also gives the Sabres the chance to keep Levi in the AHL for another season. Levi, who turns 24 in December, started each of the last two seasons in the NHL only to end up in the AHL.

That confidence seems to come naturally for Levi, whose demeanor rarely changes even after tough losses with the Buffalo Sabres; he went 2-7 with an .872 save percentage for the big club this season.
