Tanner Pearson and Akira Schmid of the Golden Knights play against Avalanche | Golden Knights

Bruce Cassidy didn't call Tuesday's preseason game against the Colorado Avalanche the last chance for the Golden Knights' hopefuls to impress.

But it is certainly one of the last.

The Knights will field a roster comprised primarily of American Hockey League players against the Avalanche at Ball Arena, but there will be some players worth keeping an eye on.

Left winger Tanner Pearson, who is in camp on a professional trial contract, will get another look on the fourth line with right winger Keegan Kolesar and junior Matyas Sapovaliv.

Center Tanner Laczynski will get another opportunity to assert himself as the Knights' 13th forward. He will pair with right winger Brendan Brisson, the team's 2020 first-round pick.

Left wing Jonas Rondbjerg will join AHL players Kai Uchacz and Mitch McLain as he continues to push for a spot on the roster.

“I don't want to pigeonhole anyone and say it's all-or-nothing because our lineups aren't scheduled for Thursday or Saturday, but we're getting closer to the regular season,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy said the Knights' final two preseason games on Thursday and Saturday will be more about getting the team's NHL core reps ahead of the Oct. 9 season opener against the Avalanche.

Therefore, players like Pearson, Laczynski, Brisson and Rondbjerg will look to impress in the ice time they have available on Tuesday.

Planned lineup:

Tanner Pearson – Matyas Sapovaliv – Keegan Kolesar

Cal Burke – Tanner Laczysnki – Brendan Brisson

Pavel Dorofeyev – Jakub Brabenec – Zach Aston-Reese

Jonas Rondbjerg – Kai Uchacz – Mitchell McLain

Ben Hutton – Kaedan Korczak

Robert Hagg-Nic Hague

Daniil Chayka – Joe Fleming
