Felix Sandstrom Suspect in Net​

After prospect Scott Ratzlaff stopped all 20 shots in half of Saturday’s game, Felix Sandstrom struggled in his place. The third period of Monday’s final preseason game against the Red Wings also saw two weak goals slip by him. Every other period Sandstrom’s been in net has been relatively strong, including the scrimmages against Buffalo’s NHLers in training camp.

Sandstrom has a history of up-and-down play, especially in the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers. At times, he looks like a bonafide NHL goaltender. Other times, there seems to be a disconnect.

If the Sabres can pass James Reimer through waivers, Sandstrom will be in a secondary role in Rochester. Otherwise, he’ll have to step up and shoulder the bulk of the starts. Perhaps the team in front of him will help, but the Amerks can’t afford Sandstrom losing his confidence again this season.

When was this guy actually good?

He was VERY good in the Swedish league. He was good-to-very good in the AHL in 21/22 and 22/23. There is/was a reason he was a 3rd round pick. Dude has the talent.

Just......something happened to him last year. Dunno if he lost confidence or what.......even in the preseason, he's looked very good at times and then lets in these inexplicable goals.

Hopefully he gets himself together -- if he does, he COULD be an asset to Rochester.
