NHL Goalie Losses Leaders: Buffalo Sabres
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 team games
This board ranks NHL goalies by losses, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
A regulation loss is charged to the goalie in net for the goal that decides the game; overtime and shootout losses are counted separately (OTL). A few leagues score losses as a negative. High totals usually mean heavy usage on a weak team rather than poor play.
Leader for the Buffalo Sabres in 2026-27: Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (BUF), 1 L.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
