Quick Note

  • The Rockets roster against the Bruins tonight has Adam Brown and Patrick Fairclough as the two goaltenders. Jamie Benn, Tyler Myers, Colin Long and Cody Almond won't play in tonight's exhibition game. All four may not see any exhibition games considering they are attending NHL training camps shortly.
  • Brandon McMillan told me Thursday he is moving back as a forward this season. McMillan says the team that drafted him, Anaheim, would like to see him develop there in possibly his final season in the WHL. McMillan played the majority of last season as a defenceman after the Rockets failed to acquire a veteran presence on the blue line at the trade deadline.

Regarding Brandon McMillan, I thought he seemed more effective as a defenseman last year than he was as a forward the year before. (Of course he was a year younger when he was a forward). Nice to know the Rockets can use him with confidence as a d-man this year if they run into injuries on the blue line.
