This comes just two games into the Nashville Predators preseason, which saw each of the two 18-year-olds play one game each in the double header against the Florida Panthers.
Philip Tomasino scored a goal in the opening game of the doubleheader, which saw the Preds defeat the Panthers 6-3, where he looked very comfortable playing against NHL competition.
Egor Afanasyev also made his presence made, although not scoring a goal in the second game of the double header, he still looked comfortable playing the NHL game.
Afanasyev was also a key part of the Predators prospect scrimmage squad, scoring two goals in the tournament the Preds squad ultimately swept.
