Necas will make his NHL debut in Edmonton on Tuesday.
Necas was the No.12 overall pick this summer and sat out the first three games of the season, but will make his debut tonight in Edmonton. Necas is a gifted offensive player, who collected 15 points (7G / 8A) in 41 games with Brno Kometa of the Czech league last season. Necas likely won’t stick with the Hurricanes, but he will get a chance to get some NHL experience under his belt and could see a handful of games. He has a some intrigue in daily contests tonight because he will be playing with Sebastian Aho and Elias Lindholm—a very dynamic trio that could make some noise vs. Oilers’ backup Laurent Brossoit.
MacKinnon (eye) will be in the Avalanche lineup on Saturday.

Kulak will be a healthy scratch in the Flames season opener.
Kulak, who had 10 points (2G / 8A) in 22 AHL games and three assists in 21 NHL games a season ago was expected to be in the opening night lineup, but Matt Barkowski will get the first crack alongside Michael Stone tonight.
The Devils re-signed Scott Wedgewood to a one-year deal worth $650K.
The Hurricanes signed Martin Necas to a three-year, entry-level contract on July 14th.
The Golden Knights signed T.J Tynan to a two-year contract worth $1.3M ($650K AAV).
The Hurricanes select Martin Necas with the 12th overall pick.
Necas has high-end offensive ability and registered 15 points (7G / 8A) in 41 games en route to a Championship with HC Kometa Brno of the Czech Republic’s top league. Necas has great speed and creativity and brings a ton of compete to the Hurricanes' farm system.
The Avalanche make Cale Makar the 4th overall pick in the NHL Draft.
Makar led all AJHL defensemen in goals (24), assists (51) and points (75) while suiting up in 54 games for the Brooks Bandits. Makar is a strong skater with great vision and should excel as a puck-moving/offensive defenseman in the NHL.
