Notes: The big news for Everett is the return of defenseman Ryan Murray. The 16-year-old has been out since Oct. 17 because of a broken thumb. Center Byron Froese is away playing for Team WHL at the Canada-Russia Super Series, causing the lines to shake up. Tyler Maxwell remains on a line with Chris Langkow and Shane Harper after the trio lit up Seattle on Saturday. Markus McCrea moves from left wing to center to help fill in. Kent Simpson gets his second straight start in goal. Defenseman Drew McDermott was reassigned earlier in the day.
