Injuries to Adam Sykora and Aidan Thompson leave the active roster at 26, needing to cut three more players by opening night. Vincent Iorio is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, complicating the final roster decisions. Key players such as Matt Rempe and Alberts Smits appear likely to secure roster spots.
