Murray-Gudas
Rissanen-de la Lande
Theriau-Kulchar

Scratches: Minville, Hunt, Dailey, Sohor.
Notes: Tips captain Zack Dailey misses his second straight game because of his head injury. D.Jay McGrath retains his place in Dailey’s spot centering the checking line. Defenseman Curtis Kulchar makes his Everett debut tonight. Kent Simpson gets the start in goals as Everett’s goalies continue to rotate.
SWIFT CURRENT
Forward lines:
Tassone-Dowling-Novotny
Stickland-Eakin?-Hoban
Lowry-Vause-Wagner
Peddle-Blanke-Brown
Sullivan?
Defensive pairings:
Rogers-Scarlett
Evans-Bobbee
Craig-Luhning
Starting goalie:
Friesen
Scratches: Hay, Claffey, Eakin/Sullivan.
Notes: Swift Current puts the question mark next to star center Cody Eakin’s name. Eakin returned to the team today after being cut from Canada’s team for the World Junior Hockey Championships this morning. Andrew Sullivan is the possible substitute, but bet on Eakin skating tonight. The Broncos play without overage defenseman Derek Claffey because of a lower-body injury.
