Buffalo Sabres prospect Noah Ostlund knows the road to earn an NHL roster spot will feature plenty of competition, so the 2022 first-round draft pick wants to make his presence known during the Prospects Challenge, which starts Friday night, to set the stage for training camp.
"To do my best, make a good impression on all the coaches and all the staff and play my best hockey," Ostlund told Justin Alpert of Sabres.com on Thursday. "It's gonna be tough days, but I want to make an impact on every day."
The 21-year-old Sweden native made his NHL debut last season but failed to record a point in his first eight appearances with the Sabres.
