Note: Line combinations and defensive pairings are not provided during the playoffs.
EVERETT
Forwards: Bajkov, Low, Leedahl, Laurencelle, Bauml, Stadnyk, Fonteyne, Millar, Aasman, Mykitiuk, Nikolishin, Scherbak.
Defensemen: Juulsen, Pfeifer, Skrumeda, MacDonald, Davis, Wharrie.
Goaltenders: Hart, Lotz.
Scratches: Betker, Kindopp, Leslie, Wegleitner.
Notes: Everett plays without overage defenseman Ben Betker, who was knocked out of Game 2 with an upper-body injury. However, the Tips receive some relief as Betker is replaced by the returning Tristen Pfeifer, who’s been out for more than a month because of an upper-body injury of his own. Otherwise the lineup remains the same.
SPOKANE
Forwards: Ke. Yamamoto, Stewart, Bechtold, Helewka, McAndrews, Ka. Yamamoto, Brooks, Zwerger, Whittingham, Elynuik, Playfair, Cardiff/Olynek
Defensemen: Fram, Charif, Helgesen, Fiala, Henderson, Laday.
Goaltenders: Hughson, Verhelst.
Scratches: Rayman, Oneschuk, Anderson-Dolan, Miske, Sozanski, Toporowski, Cardiff/Olynek.
Notes: Spokane will be without center Blair Oneschuk for undisclosed reasons. He’ll be replaced by either winger Jacob Cardiff (upper body) or center Kolten Olynek, depending on how the warm-up goes. Interestingly, the line of Adam Helewka, Calder Brooks and Kailer Yamamoto, which was broken up for the two games in Everett, is back together tonight, at least for the starting lineup.
