Published 6:41 pm Friday, March 9, 2012

EVERETT

Forward lines:

Winquist-Petryk-Birkholz

Harrison-Bauml-Fowlie

Erricson-Hayer-McPhee

Boyd-Chynoweth-Lofthouse

Defensive pairings:

Murray-Adam

Caron-Yadlowsk

Morden-Bittner

Starting goalie:

Lotz

Scratches: Walters, Barnett, Grayson, Samoridny.

Notes: Everett welcomes overage defenseman Brennan Yadlowski back to the lineup. Yadlowski missed Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over Victoria attending to a personal matter. Defenseman Nick Walters (lower body) and winger JT Barnett (knee) remain out injured. Austin Lotz gives Kent Simpson a breather in goal, making his first start since Feb. 24.

PORTLAND

Forward lines:

Trott-Noebels-Rattie

Ross-Reid-Leipsic

Leier-Peters-Gabriel

Petan/Turgeon-De Leo-Baker

Defensive pairings

Morrow-Wrenn

Pouliot-Rutkowski

Wotherspoon-Hanson

Starting goalie:

Carruth

Scratches: Eviston, Castro, Bartschi, Viveiros, Petan/Turgeon.

Notes: The big news for Portland is that star winger Sven Bartschi is out. Bartschi was an emergency call-up by the NHL’s Calgary Flames because of injury problems. If 1996-born center Dominic Turgeon gets the call after the warm-up, it will be his WHL debut.
