ERIE, Pa. – It was by accident, but not sure I could have had a better experience for my first ever OHL playoff game.
Not only was it a wild, high-scoring 7-5 win for the Erie Otters over the Ste. Sault Marie Greyhounds at Erie Insurance Arena in Erie, Pa. -- nothing like a good old-fashioned shootout, right? -- but Buffalo Sabres prospects excelled. And let’s be honest, the presence of three Sabres prospects in the game was why I made the trip in the first place.
Sabres prospect Nick Baptiste was dominant on the ice, with strong two-way play, versatility on display, and he played his part in successfully killing penalties.
