The broadcasters were raving about his play yesterday and there's this: @coreypronman BUF's Baptiste standing out in a good way. Speed, work ethic, and good hockey sense.

Nick Baptiste: MAKING HIS CASE Sudbury Wolves forward Nicholas Baptiste (2013, third round) gave Hockey Canada decision makers much to think about Monday, using his speed and energy to produce an assist and several other scoring chances as Team OHL dropped a 3-2 shootout decision to Team Russia at the Subway Super Series. The game was played in front of a standing-room only crowd at the Sudbury Arena where Baptiste’s Wolves play their home games. http://youtu.be/lrEsvhyHb2I

@SabresProspects Nick Baptiste uses his speed to cruise in down the left side and flip a backhand feed to Carter Verhaege for the goal. OHL/RUS tied 2-2. @SabresProspects Baptiste flying in the second period. Extra boost in his step. What a great play to get the assist earlier. #Sabres

@SabresProspects Per CHL tweet, Baptiste starting off with Domi (PHX) and Laughton (PHI). That's a good sign...and a tough line to play against.

SABRES PROSPECTS REPORT (11/25/13) Zadorov shines in his return to junior; Baptiste preps for Russian invasion By Kris Baker - SabresProspects.com Nikita Zadorov (2013, first round) shined in his return to junior hockey Thursday, playing steady defensively while posting three assists as Russia posted their first victory of the 2013 Subway Super Series with a 5-2 victory over Team OHL. Zadorov overcame a slow start to make a difference when the puck dropped for period two. On his first shift, the veteran of seven NHL games made his presence known by nearly catching Max Domi (PHX) with his head down at the Russian blue line. Minutes later during a penalty killing effort, Zadorov intercepted a pass along the boards, took three strides up ice, and sprung 2014 draft prospect Ildar Shiksatdorov for a breakaway goal. In the third period, the 18-year old continued to display his dominance by skating down to the left circle and firing a bullet pass to the edge of the crease right on the tape of Vladimir Butuzov to give the Russians a 4-2 lead. Zadorov, who leveraged his long reach and played the body throughout, completed the three-point night when his zone clear off the boards was converted into an empty-net goal to cap the Russian triumph. The hard-hitting defender followed up his Team Russia performance by heading back to London of the OHL, earning an assist in each of his first two games as the Knights upped their winning streak to six with wins over Erie and Windsor.

Foligno heroics still inspiring Wolves Nicholas Baptiste and Mathew Campagna don’t have to look far for an example how the SUBWAY Super Series can become a springboard for Canada’s World Junior team. The Sudbury Wolves’ duo each saw Marcus Foligno, a former Wolves forward, use his size, tenacity and offensive instincts lead to a Team OHL win in 2010 and later a roster spot on Canada’s World Junior team. As the current Wolves look to follow in Foligno’s footsteps with this game also being played in front of their home fans at the Sudbury Community Arena, each aspires at making a similar impact. “(Foligno) really made his mark at that game for a World Junior invitation and eventually making the team,” says Baptiste, who recalls watching the 2010 game on TV at his home in Ottawa. “That’s something I’m looking forward to hopefully playing well and getting recognized and hopefully getting an invite to camp.” Baptiste is looking forward to playing with the likes of Connor McDavid and Bo Horvat, while bringing his brand of play to Team OHL. “Throughout Russia’s whole history they have always been a very skilled team,” Baptiste says. “I think for us to be successful, we have to take the body to them and make them feel uncomfortable away from home and go to the dirty areas to get rewarded. We have a lot of skill on our OHL team, but I think if we can combine our skill with our work ethic, we’re going to be successful.” Stream here: http://chl.insinc.com/canadavsrussia/
