EVERETT (32-15-3-1)
Forward lines
Leedahl-Bauml?-Stadnyk
Low-Laurencelle-Scherbak
Bajkov-Fonteyne?-Nikolishin
Mykitiuk-Wharrie-Millar
Wegleitner?
Defensive pairings
Betker-Juulsen
MacDonald-Davis
Skrumeda-Pfeifer
Goaltenders
Lotz
Hart
Scratches: Aasman, Bauml/Fonteyne/Wegleitner.
Notes: Everett has two players who are game-time decisions in centers Kohl Bauml (illness) and Matt Fonteyne (lower body). If one is unable to go, then winger Gunnar Wegleitner will play. If both can’t go, then the Tips will skate one short. Winger Logan Aasman (concussion) remains out indefinitely, but he has returned to Everett after a lengthy recovery period at home.
TRI-CITY (24-24-0-3)
Forward lines
McCue-Bowles-Nejezchleb
Nickles-Gutierrez-Topping
Vickerman-Sandhu-T. Comrie
Playfair-Purtill-James
Defensive pairings
Wotherspoon-Hamonic
Morrison-Carlo
Hillis-Coghlan
Goaltenders
E. Comrie
Sanders
Scratches: Lukin, Williams, Cochrane, Sarthou.
Notes: Former Silvertip Tyler Sandhu returns to Everett for the first time as an American after being dealt from Red Deer to Tri-City in January. However, another former Tip, defenseman Carter Cochrane, misses out on his first chance to play his former team because of an upper-body injury. Center Brian Williams (lower body), winger Vladislav Lukin (upper body) and goaltender Evan Sarthou (lower body) are also out. With Sarthou laid up, 16-year-old Nicholas Sanders has been called up to serve as the back-up goalie. The Americans have one scratch unlisted, but based on the line combinations it appears to be defenseman Brendan O’Reilly.
