The Kelowna Rockets should have forward Max Graham in the lineup tonight when they begin a two-game US Division road trip in Spokane.

He was returned to the Rockets from the NHL's New Jersey Devils following Thursday night's pre-season game in Philadelphia.

Graham, 20, suited up for Thursday's game, his only action of the exhibition season.

He registered one shot and five hits in 14:33 of ice time.

The return of Graham leaves only forward Andrew Cristall (Washington) away at an NHL camp.

The Capitals play their final pre-season game Saturday before opening the regular season the following Saturday.

Graham's return also means the team has to make a decision on which two overage players to keep.

The Rockets now have three overage players on the roster, Graham and forwards Michael Cicek and Luke Schelter.
