Bruce Cassidy called Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche not the last chance for the Golden Knights’ hopefuls to make an impact.

But it is certainly one of the last.

The Knights will field a team made up of mostly American Hockey League players against the Avalanche at Ball Arena, but there will be some players worth keeping an eye on.

Lefty Tanner Pearson, who is in camp on a professional tryout deal, will again get a look on the fourth line with righty Keegan Kolesar and prospect Matyas Sapovaliv.

Center Tanner Laczynski will get another chance to make his case to become the Knights’ 13th forward. He will skate with right winger Brendan Brisson, the team’s 2020 first-round pick.

Left winger Jonas Rondbjerg will skate with AHL players Kai Uchacz and Mitch McLain as he continues to push for a roster spot.

“I don’t want to put anyone in a box and say it’s ‘do or die’ because our lineup isn’t set for Thursday or Saturday yet, but we’re getting close to the regular season,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy said the Knights’ final two preseason games Thursday and Saturday will be more about getting the team’s NHL regulars settled in before the Oct. 9 season opener against the Avalanche.

So players like Pearson, Laczynski, Brisson and Rondbjerg will try to impress in the ice time they get on Tuesday.

Projected setup:

Tanner Pearson – Matyas Sapovaliv – Keegan Kolesar

Cal Burke – Tanner Laczysnki – Brendan Brisson

Pavel Dorofeyev – Jakub Brabenec – Zach Aston-Reese

Jonas Rondbjerg – Kai Uchacz – Mitchell McLain

Ben Hutton-Kaedan Korczak

Robert Hagg-Nic Haag
