Three former Mavericks were in action Wednesday night and hoping to make an impression on their respective NHL teams before opening-night rosters are set.
Grant Stevenson played 13:27 for the Calgary Flames in a 2-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Reports out of Calgary have said that Stevenson is one of about four players vying for the team's final forward spot.
Steve Wagner played 19:37 and was minus-1 in the St. Louis Blues' 7-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild. The Blues trimmed their roster to 28 today, sending four players to the minors, but Wagner, a defenseman, was not on the list. St. Louis has two preseason games remaining. David Backes, who appears to be a lock to make the big club, did not play Wednesday.
Tim Jackman is trying to make a different kind of impression on the New York Islanders. He dropped the gloves twice in the second period in a 6-1 slugfest against the New Jersey Devils.
Meanwhile, Ryan Carter is living the good life, hanging out in London this week with the Anaheim Ducks.

Saw Wagner play last night at the X. It was a good game. You could definitely see that the Blues had some of their best players out of uniform.
As for Wagner, he was solid Wagner as always. He got beat a couple times on defense, but he's definitely improved since leaving MSU. With the Blues thin D, he's got a shot at making this team.
