"The Chicago Blackhawks announced their roster for the team's first exhibition game Tuesday night against the Oilers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and it includes many of the prospects in training camp along with a sprinkling of veterans.

"We have a lot of young guys playing our first couple of games," coach Joel Quenneville said Monday. "We'll get a look at most of these guys. We have a young lineup (Tuesday). It will be nice to see these guys play in an NHL game."

Along with the youngsters, mainstays Jonathan Toews, Jamal Mayers, Viktor Stalberg, Steve Montador and other veterans also will make the trip.

One key matchup to watch will be the battle for backup goaltender between Ray Emery and Alexander Salak. The duo is scheduled to split time against Edmonton."
