Ottawa Senators rookies competing for few spots [Video]
The battle for jobs will officially begin Friday night at the Budweiser Centre.
And, the Senators will find out if these kids are alright.
As the Senators prepare to open camp with medicals next Thursday at the Canadian Tire Centre, the 23 hopefuls who are trying to show they've got what it takes to push for a spot will hit the ice for the Battle of Ontario against the Toronto Maple Leafs' rookies at 7:30 p.m.
While there aren't many jobs available in main camp, Erik Condra's departure as UFA to the Tampa Bay Lightning and the cracked vertebra suffered by veteran defenceman Chris Phillips during his recovery from back surgery means there could be a chance for some of these players.
