Tampa Bay Lightning prospect report: A high-scoring week for the prospects

It was a high-scoring week for a lot of the Tampa Bay Lightning prospects. Boris Katchouk had seven points in three games, Taylor Raddysh had four in three, Otto Somppi had six in four; it was quite the week.

Sammy Walker moved leagues once again. Now that the Minnesota high school season has begun, he’s left the USHL to return home to Edina. He was 2PPG in the high school elite league and had none in the USHL, and going back to high school showed off his scoring touch as he scored four points in his first two games.

As always, check out Bolt Prospects for more prospect coverage.
