Sudbury is getting the stars for what will be the preseason debuts of the top healthy players on the team. Tristan Jarry will be busy being active for both games, though it remains to be seen what his workload will be on either night.
Top prospects Owen Pickering and Rutger McGroarty will be joining Jarry in both rosters, as will Boko Imama. As far as young players go, it’s also interesting to see Harrison Brunicke was at least selected to join the very NHL looking lineup on Sunday.
NHL Network will carry the game on Sunday.
After this weekend, the Pens have three more exhibition games next week to gear up for the regular season opener on October 9th.
