Everett vs. Kamloops lineup notes

Published 6:13 pm Wednesday, November 26, 2014

EVERETT (15-4-2-1)

Forward lines

Miller-Bauml-Bajkov

Low-Nikolishin-Stadnyk

Cochrane-Fonteyne-Aasman

Wegleitner-Malenica-Wharrie

Defensive pairings

Betker-Juulsen

MacDonald-Davis

Skrumeda-Pfeifer

Goaltenders

Lotz

Hart

Scratches: Leedahl, Laurencelle, Scherbak.

Notes: The Tips continue to be plagued by injuries up front, with leading scorer Nikita Scherbak (leg) joining Dawson Leedahl (knee) and Remi Laurencelle (ankle) on the sidelines. All three are top-nine forwards, meaning defenseman Carter Cochrane is now needed on Everett’s third line. Defenseman Jordan Wharrie also continues to be played at forward.

KAMLOOPS (11-10-3-2)

Forward lines

Shirley-McVeigh-Harrison

Winther-Revel-Zaharichuk

Ully-Needham-Sideroff

Loewen-Chyzowski-Benjafield

Defensive pairings

Maier-Rehill

Verveda-Fora

Reagan/Clouston-Connolly

Goaltenders

Ingram

Kehler

Scratches: Kryski, Campese, Gaudet, Reagan/Clouston.

Notes: Kamloops remains without overage defenseman Brady Gaudet, who is out with an upper-body injury. Winger Matthew Campese, a recent trade acquisition, is serving the second game of a two-game suspension handed down by the league for a kneeing major penalty against Prince George last Friday, while impressive 16-year-old center Jake Kryski is being given what I’m told its a “maintenance day.” Defensemen Cameron Reagan and Connor Clouston both take the warm-up, but just one will play.
