We’ve got ourselves a hockey game. It’s the Battle of Alberta: Rookie Camp Edition.
The Oilers Rookies will host the first leg of a two-game series against the Flames Rookies in Edmonton on Friday night, and then the two teams will play again in Calgary on Sunday.
The players to watch on the Oilers are forwards Matt Savoie and Isaac Howard, who will both be vying for spots in Edmonton’s top-six forward group when big-league training camp opens next week.
Other notables are top defence prospect Beau Akey and top goalie prospect Samuel Jonsson. Edmonton’s top two selections from this summer’s draft, Tommy Lafreniere and David Lewandowski, will be suiting up for the Oilers for the first time.
The Flames will be without top prospect Zayne Parekh, who was pulled from Rookie Camp for precautionary reasons. Hunter Brzustewicz will be the player to watch on Calgary with Parekh on the sidelines.
