On Wednesday -- THE START OF HOCKEY SEASON, WOOOO -- the NHL announced opening-night rosters for all 30 teams. You can find them here. Do note that some players who’ve recently agreed to terms, but whose contracts had not yet been approved by the league, are not included.
For example, Rasmus Ristolainen isn’t on the Buffalo roster. Nikita Kucherov isn’t on the Bolts roster, either.
