Goalie Start
Saros is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Kings.
The Predators selected Matier with the No.124 overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old defenseman had nine assists in 56 games with the Ottawa 67's in his draft year.
Allison would have had a tough time making the Flyers opening night roster anyways but now he'll almost certainly open his season in the AHL. The 23-year-old had a nice season in 2021, posting even points (4G / 3A) in 14 NHL games and nine points (4G / 5A) in 10 AHL games.
Smith appeared in one game with the Predators last season, spending almost all of the season in Chicago (AHL), where he had five goals and five assists in 23 games. Look for Smith to report to the AHL to open the 2021-22 campaign.
