Hirose (concussion) won't play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Hirose is likely ticketed for AHL Abbotsford once healthy, but if his concussion lingers into the regular season, he could first have a stint on season-opening injured reserve. The 25-year-old defenseman has 10 games of NHL experience over the last two seasons.
