As part of the major changes to the Edmonton Oilers under the leadership of general manager Stan Bowman, the club acquired goaltender Devon Levi from the Buffalo Sabres.
Levi, who was once regarded by many as the potential goalie of the future for the Sabres, never got his full chance with the franchise, but he’s seeing regular playing time with the Oilers right now, especially in the absence of Frederik Andersen.
And during practice on Monday, Levi, who has already gotten rave reviews for his Oilers gear setup, debuted a notable chance that has fans talking once again.

Connor McDavid Recently Praised The Play Of Devon Levi
Following a recent win over the Los Angeles Kings, Oilers star captain Connor McDavid, who is currently on pace to reach nearly 300 points scored thanks to a strong start to the season, praised the performance of Levi.
“He’s been great, honestly. Just such a calming presence in there,” McDavid said of Levi. “Makes the big saves, seems to make timely saves, which is half the battle with goaltending. He’s been really solid for us; we can be a little bit better in front of him for sure.”
