Ratzlaff will defend the road net in Saturday's exhibition contest against Columbus, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Ratzlaff posted a 21-26-2 record with a 3.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 52 regular-season appearances for WHL Seattle in 2023-24. The 19-year-old netminder will likely return to the junior ranks this campaign.
