As a result, the Tennessee roster reduced its training camp roster to 52 skaters, including 30 forwards.
Having been selected 27th overall in the 2021 National League Draft, the 19-year-old did not appear in the Preds’ first two exhibition meetings.
Last season, L’Heureux had 22 goals and 34 assists for 56 points in 46 games with his club in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Mooseheads’ next game is scheduled for Saturday against the Cape Breton Eagles.
