Devon Levi has signed an three-year, entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres, the team announced Friday afternoon.
Levi was the backbone to Northeastern's team, appearing in 34 games for the Huskies this season. The Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec native started in 23 Hockey East games for the Huskies. He posted a 14-6-3 record, making 753 saves, a league-high, and allowing 42 goals (.947 save%, 1.81 GAA; both league highs). He posted six shutouts in conference play (1st in Hockey East).
The junior goaltender finished his collegiate career appearing in 66 games. His .942 save percentage and a 1.90 goals against average finished first in program history. Devon has also notched his name in the Northeastern record books as his 16 career shutouts set the Northeastern record, passing former goaltender Chris Rawlings (2010-13).
Levi also holds the single-season shutout record for Northeastern (6). His 28 career wins are sixth overall in Northeastern program history. He helped see Northeastern to the 2023 Beanpot title, where he won tournament MVP and the Eberly award for best tournament save percentage. Additionally, he helped claim the program's first-ever Hockey East Regular Season Championship and a berth to the 2022 NCAA tournament.
This season, he was the recipient of the 2023 Hockey East Player of the Year award, the Hockey East Goaltender of the Year, and is a First Team All-Star. He was also named a finalist for the 2023 Mike Richter award and was named a Top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial award.
Additionally, Levi is third Husky from the 2022-23 roster to sign with an NHL organization this post-season, with
