Published 6:18 pm Saturday, March 15, 2014

EVERETT

Forward lines:

Winquist-Khaira-Nikolishin

Leedahl-Fonteyne-Stadnyk

Low-Hayer-Bajkov

Jones-Laurencelle-Sandhu

Defensive pairings:

Pufahl-MacDonald

Betker-Juulsen

Mueller-Davis

Goaltenders:

Lotz

Amundrud

Scratches: Bauml, Aasman, Adam, Cochrane, Hart.

Notes: Everett, which can still finish anywhere from fourth to sixth in the Western Conference, fields the same lineup that won 5-3 in Victoria on Friday night. Winger Tyler Sandhu retains his spot after returning Friday from a 20-game absence. Center Kohl Bauml remains out with a fractured tibia. Fifteen-year-old goaltender Carter Hart has rejoined the Tips as his midget team’s season is over, but he’s in the stands tonight. The Tips will be keeping a close eye on Seattle (at Portland) and Spokane (at Tri-City), which are both a point ahead of Everett in the standings.

VICTORIA

Forward lines:

Crunk-Fisher-Nelson

Blomqvist-B. Walker-Magee

Fushimi-Soy-Skapski

Carroll-Hodges-Palmer

Defensive pairings:

Cote-Kanzig

Hicketts-Brown

Reddenkopp-Gagnon

Goaltenders:

Vollrath

Polivka

Scratches: Fransoo, Kohlhauser, J. Walker, Oleksyn.

Notes: Victoria, which is playing its final game of the season and already locked into the third seed in the Western Conference, nevertheless plays essentially a full lineup. The only regular rested is overage defenseman Jordan Fransoo. Coleman Vollrath gets the start in goal after Patrik Polivka got the call Friday in Victoria.
