Kris Baker recaps the week that was in the world of the the Sabres prospects, headlined by Scott Ratzlaff's big night in net withthe Seattle Thunderbirds.

Noah Ostlund maintained the hot hand by recording the first three-point game of his SHL career, while Anton Wahlberg continues to be a minute-eating mule for Malmo. 

Down on the farm, Vikor Neuchev and Nikita Novikov are really coming out of their shells while the Amerks patiently wait for Jiri Kulich to resume his goal-scoring ways.

In the QMJHL, Vsevolod Komarov is piling up the points, but it's his defensive presence that really compels as a pro prospect.

Matthew Savoie extended his WHL point streak, while Mats Lindgren picked up where he left off in his return to the Red Deer lineup.

To tie up loose ends from last week, Kris provides a quick update on Matteo Costantini's recent point streak and Viljami Marjala's chase of a TPS rookie record.

Kris Baker kicks off the week with Western Michigan centerman Matteo Costantini, who has been on a bit of a journey the last few seasons, and is now riding a bit of a heater that's vaulted him up the Sabres prospect points per game leaderboard.

As far as a post-World Junior update, Kris offers a quick discussion on noteworthy positional changes for Jiri Kulich and Matt Savoie, before making a pit stop in Sweden to chat about Noah Ostlund and Anton Wahlberg, a long with notes on William Von Barnekow. Linus Sjodin, and Albert Lyckasen.

Some noteworthy callouts to Nikita Novikov, Viktor Neuchev (for the second episode in a row), and Tyson Kozak for their recent output on the farm in Rochester.

We bid adieu to Filip Cederqvist, and close with the location changes for Joel Ratkovic-Berndtsson and Sean Keohane
