Published 6:29 pm Saturday, September 25, 2010

EVERETT

Forward lines:

Maxwell-Ferraro-Tochkin

Birkholz-Cumiskey-MacDonald

Elynuik-McGrath-McCrea

Winquist-Giebel-Fowlie

Defensive pairings:

Murray-Suer

Walters-Rissanen

Morden-Sohor

Starting goalie:

Simpson

Scratches: Theriau, Erricson, Hayer, Huhtala.

Notes: Everett plays without defenseman Alex Theriau. Theriau is serving a one-game suspension for the checking-from-behind major assessed last night in the 4-3 victory over Seattle. The Tips spread their top six forwards over three lines to begin last night, but consolidated those six to start the second period, and that formation carries over tonight. One other change as Tyler Giebel enters the lineup for Manraj Hayer.

VANCOUVER

Forward lines:

Gallagher-Cunningham-McNaught

Henry-McKay-Tvrdon

Lyon-Martinook-M. Burns

Franson/Carning-Lamoureux-Bellerive

Defensive pairings:

Vannieuwenhuizen-Musil

Sohn-Manning

Fenske-Reum

Starting goalie:

Jensen

Scratches: Sward, Reed, N. Burns, Redmond, Hart, Hodder, Segal, Franson/Carning.

Notes: Vancouver has three depth players with long-term injuries in forwards Connor Redmond (shoulder) and Nathan Burns (knee) and defenseman Zach Hodder (shoulder). The Giants are carrying three goalies, and interestingly No. 1 option Mark Segal is the scratch tonight. Enforcer Randy McNaught, acquired from Saskatoon last night, makes his Giants debut. One of Cain Franson and Casper Carning will be a late scratch.
