The Montreal native, hailing from Dollard-des-Ormeaux, is set to make his debut start at the Bell Centre with the Sabres. Levi has expressed his excitement about playing in the iconic venue, describing it as 'super-special' and 'really, really cool.' He also mentioned that watching Carey Price, whom he referred to as 'such a good goalie', gave him a lot of inspiration growing up. This sentiment was further amplified by a special text message he received from Price himself. In the ongoing game between the Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens, Levi has made a strong start, with both he and Canadiens goalie Jake Allen making 14 saves each by the end of the first period. Levi continued to showcase his skills with an outstanding glove save as the game continued.
