Albany Devils to open pre-season September 27 vs Connecticut

As reported by Pete Dougherty:

The Albany Devils will open their exhibition schedule Tuesday, Sept. 27, against the Connecticut Whale at Trinity College, according to a press release issued today by the Hartford-based club.

The Devils confirmed the game this morning and said the rest of their preseason schedule will be released at a later date.

The Connecticut game, which will start at 7 p.m., will benefit the Ryan Gordon/Connecticut Whale Community Scholars Fund. In lieu of an admission charge, donations will be accepted at the door.

The New Jersey Devils have already announced their pre-season schedule, which is slated to begin six days earlier with an exhibition game at the Times Union Center.

UPDATE: The Albany Devils also confirmed the reported game on their website later in the day.
