Published 6:19 pm Wednesday, December 2, 2009

EVERETT

Forward lines:

Maxwell-Froese-Tochkin

McCrea-Langkow-Harper

MacDonald-Dailey-Hunt

Elynuik-McGrath-Abney

Defensive pairings:

Murray-Gudas

Rissanen-de la Lande/Minville

Theriau-Sohor

Starting goalie:

Heemskerk

Scratches: Winquist, Iwanski, de la Lande/Minville

Notes: The Tips keep faith with the lineup that won 6-1 at Tri-City on Saturday. The one potential change is defenseman Gabe Minville coming in for Chris de la Lande, but both will take the warm-up. All the scratches are healthy unless de la Lande can’t go.

KELOWNA

Forward lines:

Wudrick-McMillan-McColgan

Chikie-Callahan-Halliday

Ito-Adolph-Main

Corbin-Astles-Matheson

Defensive pairings:

Verdino-Barrie

Chapman-Bowman

Johnston-Jobke

Starting goalie:

Brown

Scratches: Gogol, E.Bloodoff, L.Bloodoff, Bulmer, St. Denis, Guggenberger.

Notes: No healthy scratches for the Rockets, who have major injury issues. Leading goal scorer Kyle St. Denis is out with a head injury, goaltender Mark Guggenberger still hasn’t played this season because of his pelvis injury, brothers Lucas and Evan Bloodoff both have long-term knee injuries, and Brett Bulmer has a shoulder issue. Curt Gogol, the league leader in penalty minutes, is serving a five-game suspension. It’s the first time recent additions Geordie Wudrick and Tyler Halliday face the Tips as members of the Rockets.
