Fall still sucks, and so do afternoon NHL games, but at least the Sabres earned a nice victory over Colorado thanks to a strong performance in between the pipes by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
On the prospect front, Kris Baker gets on track and discusses a handful of topics including:
•Matthew Savoie joins a line with fellow young guns Jiri Kulich and Isak Rosen and impressively blends right into the attack as the Amerks cruise to three- straight victories
•Nikita Novikov’s nice rebound from a tough outing in Laval
•All was not great, though, as the Amerks lose rookie Viktor Neuchev to injury
•A well-earned shoutout goes to Lukas Rousek – the guy is just a dog (or is it dawg?)
•Noah Ostlund scores in variety of ways to get himself a three-game goal streak as he begins his World Junior ramp-up (along with Antin Wahlberg)
•Happy belated birthday to Joel Ratkovic-Berndtsson, who celebrates his 20th with his first goal of the year
•Stiven Sardarian responds to the challenge and helps UNH to victory
•Aaron Huglen improving at the dot while UConn’s Jake Richard gets a new centerman
•Vsevolod Komarov posts a big night as Kris again points out the QMJHL trade deadline later this winter…
•Ethan Miedema has a new bench boss in K-Town
•Quick hits on Prokhor Poltapov and Viljami Marjala
