Published 6:38 pm Friday, April 10, 2015

Note: Line combinations and defensive pairings are not provided during the playoffs.

EVERETT

Forwards: Bajkov, Low, Laurencelle, Bauml, Stadnyk, Fonteyne, Millar, Aasman, Mykitiuk, Wegleitner, Nikolishin, Scherbak.

Defensemen: Betker, Skrumeda, MacDonald, Leslie, Davis, Wharrie.

Goaltenders: Hart, Lotz.

Scratches: Juulsen, Pfeifer, Leedahl, Kindopp.

Notes: Everett begins the series short on defense. Defenseman Tristen Pfeifer is done for the duration because of injury, and fellow blueliner Noah Juulsen also sits out injured. With those two out, 15-year-old call-up Jantzen Leslie gets into his second playoff game. Winger Dawson Leedahl misses his fourth straight game because of injury.

PORTLAND

Forwards: Bittner, De Leo, Koules, Iverson, Overhardt, Petan, Schoenborn, Turgeon, Weinger, Bjorkstrand, McKenzie, Walter(?).

Defensemen: Cederholm, Hanson, Henry, Heinrich, Viveiros, Texeira, De Jong (?).

Goaltenders: Hill, Johnson.

Scratches: Glass, Heid, Flaman, Walter/De Jong.

Notes: Portland has its first-choice roster at its disposal. The only question tonight is whether the Winterhawks go with a seventh defenseman in Brendan De Jong or a 12th forward in Mitchell Walter. Defenseman Nick Heid is out for the season because of a shoulder injury.
