(Note: line combinations and defensive pairings are not provided during the playoffs)
EVERETT
Starting goalie: Simpson.
Scratches: Walters, Boyd, Samoridny, Adam.
Notes: Two changes for Everett from Game 1 as winger Trent Lofthouse and defenseman Lucas Grayson come in for Jordyn Boyd and Nick Walters. I didn’t see any sign of injury from Boyd or Walters last night, so I’m guessing these are coaching decisions. Defenseman Austin Adam still hasn’t returned to the lineup from his lower-body injury.
TRI-CITY
Starting goalie: Rimmer.
Scratches: Nickles, Dallman, McCue, Walter, Gutierrez, Filbrandt, Bowles.
Notes: Exact same lineup for the Americans tonight, as well as a full-strength lineup. Why change a winning formula?
