Check the veteran rule: Saturday’s lineup (updated with PVD)

A bit more experienced lineup than we’re used to seeing for exhibition games. “We wanted some guys to be able to play a game,” Brent Thompson said. “Holmer (Ben Holmstrom) has played one game. Bracken Kearns only has one game. (Carter) Verhaeghe, one game. We’ll get them some work before the season opener. And other guys are fighting for spots.”

Scott Mayfield and the first-rounders are among those who skated hard at Wonderland this morning, sitting out tonight. Dressed are some units that have been together for the better part of a week; some new:

F: 9 Andrew Rowe-55 Travis St. Denis-27 Aaron Berisha
52 Carter Verhaeghe-38 Bracken Kearns-90 Darren Nowick
82 Kellen Jones-26 Josh Winquist-12 Josh Holmstrom
13 Kevin Morris-16 Kyle Schempp-21 Ben Holmstrom
D: 7 Devon Toews-8 Kyle Burroughs
3 Jon Landry-15 Loic Leduc
28 Ryan Obuchowski-2 Jesse Graham
G: 33 Christopher Gibson
35 Stephon Williams

Game is tonight at 7 at Wonderland.

Elsewhere, Justin Florek has an AHL deal with Milwaukee. And quite a Scott Matzka Players Tribune piece about his fight with ALS.

Edit, 3:15: Mark Divver has the Providence lineup:
