Everett vs. Spokane lineup notes
Published 6:12 pm Wednesday, October 22, 2014
EVERETT (6-0-2-1)
Forward lines
Bajkov-Bauml-Scherbak
Low-Nikolishin-Stadnyk
Millar-Laurencelle-Aasman
Cochrane-Fonteyne-Wegleitner
Defensive pairings
Betker-Juulsen
MacDonald-Davis
Skrumeda-Pfeifer
Goaltenders
Lotz
Hart
Scratches: Leedahl, Malenica, Wharrie.
Notes: Everett is without winger Dawson Leedahl, who is out indefinitely with what may be a major knee injury — he needed a second MRI today and results were not yet available. With winger Tyler Sandhu traded to Red Deer on Monday, Everett is thin up front. Therefore, defenseman Carter Cochrane skates tonight as a forward, meaning winger Nik Malenica’s WHL debut will still have to wait. With the issues up front, 16-year-old winger Gunnar Wegleitner appears set for a long run of games.
SPOKANE (4-2-3-0)
Forward lines
Zwerger-Brooks-Chartier
Elynuik-Oneschuk-Ka.Yamamoto
Bechtold-Miske-Cardiff
Helewka-Stewart-Ke.Yamamoto
Defensive pairings
Helgesen-Fram
Laday-Fiala
Henderson/Bobyk-Sozanski
Goaltenders
Hughson
Verhelst
Scratches: Rayman, McAndrews, Whittingham, Lipon, Henderson/Bobyk.
Notes: Spokane plays without forwards Riley Whittingham (upper body), Devon McAndrews (upper body) and Mitch Lipon (upper body), as well as defenseman Jeff Rayman (upper body) because of injuries. Defenseman Colton Bobyk (lower body) will try to make his season debut tonight, but if he isn’t ready to go Jordan Henderson will play.
