Welcome to Rochester, Felix.

Hope Rochester improves their D, because there’s gonna be a lot of goals on top of the glove hand

Hope the rumblings about more goaltending incoming are true. This is an organizational #4.

Michael Houser should be above him right now.

Can't keep Ratzlaff. He's junior or NHL.

3 Takeaways From Sabres Prospects This Preseason

With the 27 highest-ranking Buffalo Sabres on the depth chart over in Europe, the prospects got a chance to show what they can do in four NHL preseason games. The first two games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators included facing a mix of NHLers. The third preseason game was...

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?

Yeah that was from July 1 but last night only reenforced how suspect he is. I could see Houser getting the most AHL time behind Levi.

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.

Sabres notes: Mattias Samuelsson set to play after breaking bone in foot - Buffalo Hockey Beat

Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson has missed 86 games since the start of 2022-23, including 41 last year, when he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.

www.buffalohockeybeat.com

The Rochester Americans have given goalie Felix Sandstrom, who spent the final days before the break with the Sabres, a leave of absence to return to Sweden for personal matters.

Not sure what's up - he was pretty good over the last few months with 7 wins in a row and 6 of those were quality starts.

In the middle of the season like this? Screams some sort of family medical issue.

Hope everything turns out OK for him.

Hoppe had an article on him for his recall for the Columbus game - Rochester goalie Felix Sandstrom races from vacation in Florida to join Sabres - Buffalo Hockey Beat

It didn't mention anything at that point so perhaps a sudden health turn for a parent or grandparent?

That would be my guess unless his significant other is back in Sweden and there is an imminent birth of a child.

Hoppe mentioned him vacationing with his GF in the article. *shrug*
