Notes: Everett plays without center Clayton Cumiskey, who suffered an “upper-body” injury in Friday night’s 4-2 victory over Kamloops. Josh Birkholz shifts from right wing to center, with Josh Winquist playing on the left on that line. Three other lineup changes as Jari Erricson, Manraj Hayer and Evan Morden enter the lineup, with Cumiskey, Tyler Giebel and Nick Walters making way. For Erricson it’s his WHL debut. Also, the defensive pairings, which were in flux throughout Friday’s game, are switched up with Ryan Murray being partnered by Alex Theriau and Chad Suer playing with Rasmus Rissanen.

Notes: Defenseman Brandyn Hulit (head), right wing Mark Reners (knee) and center Brody Sutter (shoulder) have yet to play this season because of injuries, though none of the ailments are considered serious. Back-up Dylan Tait gets the call in goal as Brandon Anderson, who recently inked a deal with the NHL’s Washington Capitals, gets the night off.
