Ratzlaff is currently playing for the Seattle Thunderbirds of the WHL. In three appearances this season, he has a 3-0-0 record and a .933 save percentage. This is after he had a .905 SV% in 52 games last season with the Thunderbirds. 

Ratzlaff is a promising youngster in Buffalo’s system with a bright future. It will be fascinating to see how much of an impact he can make with the Sabres later down the road.
