Acciari notched two goals on three shots in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.
Acciari is expected to compete for a bottom-six role in the final days of training camp, but there's no question this two-goal performance certainly boosts his case to earn a role on the Opening Night roster. Acciari had an underwhelming season in 2023-24, racking up just seven points in 55 games, his lowest total since 2016-17.
