Everett vs. Seattle lineup notes
Published 6:53 pm Friday, September 12, 2014
EVERETT
Forward lines
Low-Bauml-Sandhu
Jones-Nikolishin-Millar
Runey-Laurencelle-Stadnyk
Malenica-Fonteyne-Bajkov
Defensive pairings
Cochrane-Juulsen
MacDonald-Wharrie
Davis-Pfeifer
Goaltenders
Hart
Amundrud
Scratches: Betker, Leedahl, Aasman, Skrumeda, Wegleitner, Lotz, Petit.
Notes: Everett is basically playing everyone who’s available. Goaltender Austin Lotz (Vancouver), defenseman Ben Betker (Edmonton) and winger Dawson Leedahl (Boston) are at NHL rookie training camps. Wingers Logan Aasman (undisclosed) and Gunnar Wegleitner (knee) practiced in limited capacity this week, while defenseman Lucas Skrumeda (undisclosed) limped out of practice Thursday. That leaves goaltender Mario Petit as the lone healthy scratch. Carter Hart gets the start in goal, his first preseason action as he’d been out with a groin strain.
SEATTLE
Forward lines
Eansor-Barzal-McKechnie
Gropp-True-Kolesar
Volcan-Baltram-Pederson
Osterman-Elder-Neuls
Defensive pairings
Hauf-Smith
Henry-Bear
Wolf-Khaira
Goaltenders
Kozun
Mumaugh
Scratches: Hickman, Theodore, Spencer, Wardley, Flodell, Osterman/Holowko.
Notes: Seattle is missing two players who are away at NHL rookie camps: defensemen Shea Theodore (Anaheim) and Evan Wardley (Montreal). Winger Justin Hickman would have been with Winnipeg, but was injured in practice and did not go. Both wingers Luke Osterman and Nick Holowko will take the warm-up, but just one will play. Given that Osterman is listed among the lines and Holowko is not, I think it’s likely Holowko will be the last scratch.
