MiHockey’s 2018-19 NHL Opening Night rosters list
By @MichaelCaples –
It all starts tonight, so MiHockey broke down the rosters to see how our Michigan names stack up for the 2018-19 NHL season.
Here is our look at the 31 Opening Night rosters for hockey’s highest league, as it relates to the Michigan names. Featured below are both the 32 Michigan natives (in bold) and the Michigan connections – guys who skated through the Great Lakes State for NTDP, juniors or college – who fill up NHL rosters.
Good luck to all, and Happy Hockey Season, everyone.
