Preseason Game No. 2 will feature a more veteran-laden lineup. But one talented young player, in particular, is going to have the chance to really push the tempo with a fellow puck-mover.
After making head waves during the postseason, Charlie McAvoy is set for his first preseason game of the year. The former BU Terrier will skate with a player that is smaller in stature but similar in skillset in Torey Krug, who missed all of the first round series against the Senators due to a lower-body injury.
How long the Krug-McAvoy pairing lasts beyond Tuesday night is anyone’s guess.
