Everett vs. Victoria: lineup notes

Published 6:12 pm Wednesday, March 7, 2012

EVERETT

Forward lines:

Winquist-Petryk-Birkholz

Harrison-Bauml-Fowlie

Erricson-Chynoweth-Lofthouse

Boyd-Hayer-McPhee

Defensive pairings:

Murray-Adam

Caron-Bittner

Morden-Grayson

Starting goalie:

Simpson

Scratches: Walters, Yadlowski, Barnett, Samoridny.

Notes: Everett welcomes defenseman Evan Morden back to the lineup. Morden hasn’t played since Feb. 11 because of an ankle injury. His return is timely as defenseman Nick Walters misses his third straight game because of a lower-body injury, while defenseman Brennan Yadlowski is away tending to a personal matter. Otherwise the lineup remains the same from Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Tri-City, with winger Trent Lofthouse having recovered from the hit that knocked him out of Saturday’s game.

VICTORIA

Forward lines:

Soudek-Walker-Nelson

Jones-Harrison-Carroll

Conroy-Forsyth-Traber

Crooks-Hodges-Magee

Defensive pairings

Rintoul-Stahl

Zgraggen-Kanzig

Cote-Fransoo

Starting goalie:

Rathjen

Scratches: Habscheid, Pilton, Kralik, Crunk.

Notes: Victoria is without defenseman Zach Habscheid, who is out with a lower-body injury. Otherwise, the Royals have everyone available. Interestingly, Jared Rathjen starts his eighth straight game in goal after barely playing the first five months of the season, and supposed No. 1 Keith Hamilton is not listed on the injury report.
