EVERETT
Forward lines:
Maxwell-Harrison-Birkholz
Winquist-Cumiskey-Stanfield
Erricson-Hayer-Fowlie
McCrea-Giebel-MacDonald
Defensive pairings:
Walters-Murray
Rissanen-Yadlowski
Morden-Friesen
Starting goalie:
Simpson
Scratches: Ferraro, Elynuik, Suer.
Notes: The big new for Everett is that captain Landon Ferraro is scratched with an undisclosed injury. I hope to get more details about the situation after the game. Seventeen-year-old defenseman Ryan Murray wears the “C” in Ferraro’s absence, and once again the Tips are forced to shuffle their lines because of injury, with Josh Birkholz taking Ferraro’s place alongside Ryan Harrison and Tyler Maxwell. Winger Campbell Elynuik (shoulder) and defenseman Chad Suer (jaw) remain out injured.
PORTLAND
Forward lines:
Ross-Johansen-Niederreiter
Boychuk-Peters-Leipsic
Bartschi-Cunningham-Rattie
Trott-Swenson
Defensive pairings:
Morrow-Rutkowski
Aronson-Wrenn
Wotherspoon-Pouliot
Hanson
Starting goalie:
Carruth
Scratches: Ponich, Gabriel, Jordan.
Notes: Portland plays without forwards Oliver Gabriel (shoulder) and Tayler Jordan (hernia) and defenseman Brett Ponich (undisclosed) because of injuries. The four Winterhawks who participated in this week’s Top Prospect Game — forwards Ty Rattie and Sven Bartschi, defensemen Joe Morrow and Tyler Wotherspoon — are all back and in the lineup. The injuries force Portland to dress seven defensemen.
