Scum rematch at home tonight at 7:30 CT, and this time with a semi-legitimate NHL roster, as Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane make their pre-season debuts. Corey Crawford is in net for the full game, which leaves Friday for Ray Emery’s chance to bring his best and win the back-up spot. The game will be televised on Versus as well as locally so hockey fans nationwide can enjoy the centering of Patrick Kane and hopefully no social justice-related incident.
