Sabres Assign Promising Goalie Prospect To AHL

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that goaltender Scott Ratzlaff has been assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans.

Ratzlaff, 20, spent this season in the WHL with the Seattle Thunderbirds. In 49 games this campaign with the WHL squad, he posted a 23-19-4 record, a .910 save percentage, and a 3.16 goals-against average. Now, with the Thunderbirds’ season over, Ratzlaff will finish the campaign with Rochester. 

Ratzlaff was selected by the Sabres with the 141st overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. In 160 games over five seasons with the Thunderbirds, Ratzlaff has put together an 87-55-5 record, a .909 save percentage, and a 2.90 goals-against average. 

It will now be interesting to see if Ratzlaff makes his AHL debut with the Amerks before the season is over from here.
