Maxwell-Winquist-Tochkin

Stanfield-Ferraro-Birkholz

MacDonald-Cumiskey-Fowlie

McCrea-Hayer-Giebel

Defensive pairings:

Theriau-Murray

Morden-Yadlowski

Minville-Friesen

Starting goalie:

Scratches: Walters, Rissanen, Elynuik, Erricson, Suer, Chynoweth.

Notes: Everett uses it’s 20 available players 16 and over. Defensemen Rasmus Rissanen (World Juniors) and Nick Walters (U-17s) and winger Jari Erricson (U-17s) are on international duty, while defenseman Chad Suer (jaw) and winger Campbell Elynuik (shoulder) are injured. Fifteen-year-old center Ryan Chynoweth must wait for his WHL debut, and 15-year-old defenseman Tye Hand is present but not on the roster. Call-up defensemen Gabe Minville and Kieran Friesen get their first game in front of the home fans.

VANCOUVER

Forward lines:

Lyon-Bennett-M.Burns

N.Burns-MacKay-Reners

Franson?-Rowinski-Gallagher

Martinook-T.Burns-Sward

Defensive pairings:

Vannieuwenhuizen-Manning

Hart-Rogers

Fenske-Hodder

Sohn?

Starting goalie:

Segal

Scratches: Musil, Bellerive, Lamoureux, Redmond, Henry, McNaught.

Notes: Vancouver no longer has the services of center Craig Cunningham, as the team’s former captain and leading scorer was traded to Portland earlier in the week. The Giants still have their injury woes, too, as all the scratches except Bellerive are injured (Bellerive is at the U-17s). One of winger Cain Franson and defenseman Tanner Sohn will join the scratch list.

—- UPDATE, 6:30 p.m.

In the excitement of using Twitter I neglected to mention on the blog that head coach Craig Hartsburg is back behind the bench for Everett tonight. Less than 60 days after heart surgery. Amazing.
