I think he'll play the first game in Edmonton... in the preseason.

It's a split-squad game and you always send your weaker line-up to the road game and keep the better players for the home game. Also, he qualifies as an NHL veteran to meet the 8 veteran minimum for all preseason games. It's tougher to make that minimum when you have a split-squad.
