Welcome to lovely Saskatoon, home of the Last Chance Saloon for at least a few Carolina Hurricanes roster hopefuls.
The Hurricanes and Oilers will hit the ice tonight for the penultimate game (there’s a Kaitonism for you) of the 2017 preseason. The Canes will send out a roster of mostly depth players, and given Bill Peters’ assertion last week that he plans to use Friday’s game against the Capitals as a dress rehearsal for the regular-season opener, tonight is where a good number of decisions will be made.
Among those: will Martin Necas earn a spot on the opening-night roster?
