  • Andrew Suitor, Callum Crawford and Brock Sorensen are expected to see their first game action this pre-season on Saturday.
  • Expect both Tyler Carlson and Zach Higgins to split time in net for the Swarm
  • Both Zach Palmer and Michael Teeter will be battling for a possible seventh forward spot on the active roster
  • My hunch is there will be 5 defenders and 6 transition players making the final 20.
  • Defenders who appear to be safe are Gilbert, Crepinsek and Noble. Downing, Houtby, Alexander and Ball should be fighting for two spots
  • If Suitor is activated by December 16th, a final spot may come down to Flint or Earl. If Suitor is not activated on December 16th, the team may wait just before the regular season opener to determine Suitor's status.
  • The Roughnecks have quite a few players in camp still to evaluate but they should get to see all their players with two games this weekend.
  • The Roughnecks have solid defensive depth but maybe looking for a bit more depth out the front door.
  • Scott Ranger may miss significant time this off season due to injury to his jaw.
  • The Roughnecks have a good young battle at backup goaltender with third year player Frank Scigliano and rookie Peter Dubenski.
  • Rookies that may make the Roughnecks roster are first round pick Tor Reinholdt, Karsen Leung and Garrett McIntosh.

Prediction: Minnesota Swarm 12 Calgary Roughnecks 10
