Questions for a live blog, I'll be here most of the night watching the exhibition game.
Holy cow, there are way too many good forwards to make this team... Jeremy Gates got 13 stitches in his face after getting a puck there on Monday and played fantastic on Tuesday at both ends... Scott Follmer and Mike Vaskivuo sat out again with minor injuries but will try to skate tomorrow... The way the lineups will work for Wednesday's exhibition game in Wheeling, each team will skate with 12 forwards instead of the usual 10... Komets' lines will be Dunbar, Hauswirth and Lang; Auger, Fleming and Larke; Firman, Bochek and Schrock; Walrod, St. Marie and Flaherty.
Forward Mike Vaskivuo and defensman Kyle Follmer sat out Tuesday's training camp scrimmage because of hip pointers, according to Komets General Manager David Franke... That mean regular left wing Chris Auger had to play defense in the scrimmage, and he held his own... The Komets have a new defenseman in camp in Derek Foam who played some last year for South Carolina and Evansville... The defense got a little thinner when Jeremy Gates, who has been playing well, took a puck to the face and had to leave for stitches...
Chris Auger, Scott Fleming, John Dunbar and Matthew Larke
