Iginla started in the final preseason game and is likely going to be on the top line alongside Blake Comeau and Matt Duchene.

Analysis:

The 38-year-old was dealing with a hip injury during a piece of the preseason, but seems to have fully recovered from that. Playing in all 82 games for the Avs last season, Iginla scored 29 goals and tallied 30 assists while logging more than 18 minutes of ice time a night. Playing on the top line should keep him on the ice quite a bit, but Duchene's shoot-first mentality could hamper Iginla's production a bit.
