Xavier Simoneau and William Trudeau will play their first NHL pre-season games in front of the home crowd.

Kaiden Guhle will get a second pre-season game alongside David Savard. Mattias Norlinder will play his second game as well.

The line of Evgenii Dadonov, Christian Dvorak, and Brendan Gallagher will make their pre-season debut. Cole Caufield and Kirby Dach will play their second pre-season games, but this time on the same line. They will be joined by Emil Heineman.
