The Nashville Predators have finalized their 23-man roster for Thursday’s home opener against the Dallas Stars. The list is packed with the culminations of several feel-good stories from Preds’ camp, such as Kiefer Sherwood’s sudden rise or Cody Glass’s emotional battle back to the NHL roster. However, a lot of the talk has focused on one of the names not on the roster.
Phil Tomasino will start the season with the Milwaukee Admirals. It’s a development that would have seemed surprising just a couple of weeks ago. Tomasino appeared destined to start the year as the Preds’ second line winger.
