Carter sits, Stevenson sent, Wagner surprises

The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings opened the NHL season Saturday in London, but ex-Maverick Ryan Carter was a scratch. We'll see what happens in Sunday's game.

The Calgary Flames trimmed their roster to 24 players Saturday, and Grant Stevenson was among the players shipped to the American Hockey League's Quad City Flames.

As for Steve Wagner, he just might make the St. Louis Blues' opening-day roster -- if the reports are right. Peoria doesn't seem to be planning on him being with the Rivermen this week, and another report calls the defenseman the surprise of training camp.

Meanwhile, the current Mavericks officially start practice in just six days. In Sunday's Free Press, I have a story on Minnesota State coach Troy Jutting, who is beginning his eighth season behind the bench.
