NHL call ups

Kirill Marchenko was called up to the NHL. Goalie Tristan Lennox will become another chance to show his Talent at the last Pre Season Game. It’s 100% that Brock McGinn will be called up and get the last Roster Spot. One of the Goalies will be sent down. Highest possibility is that Lennox will go back to Juniors. Other possibility is that Veini Vehvilainen will start in the AHL and called up later.
