The first try at hockey this season went well against the Senators.
That game featured a battle of the backups at both ends of the ice, and tonight’s should be at least half Andersen vs Anderson.
Auston Matthews will lead the team, playing with Tyler Ennis and Patrick Marleau, and while last night was our first look at Igor Ozhiganov, tonight should be the first chance to watch Par Lindholm in a somewhat meaningful game.
Preseason can bring a lot of surprises, and last night it was mostly Emerson Clark, a player on an AHL deal, who was the equal of the NHL-contracted players will likely play on the Marlies.
