Published 6:59 pm Friday, November 14, 2014
EVERETT (12-2-2-1)
Forward lines
Bajkov-Bauml-Scherbak
Low-Nikolishin-Stadnyk
Millar-Fonteyne-Aasman
Wegleitner-Cochrane-Wharrie
Defensive pairings
Betker-Juulsen
MacDonald-Davis
Skrumeda-Pfeifer
Goaltenders
Hart
Lotz
Scratches: Leedahl, Laurencelle, Malenica.
Notes: Everett is down to the bare bones as forwards Dawson Leedahl (knee), Remi Laurencelle (ankle) and Nik Malenica (upper body) are all out injured. Therefore, defensemen Carter Cochrane and Jordan Wharrie continue to be deployed as forwards. Back-up Carter Hart gets the call in goal.
PORTLAND (8-11-0-2)
Forward lines
Bjorkstrand-Petan-Weinger
Koules-De Leo-Price
Iverson-Turgeon-Schoenborn
Bittner/McKenzie-Overhardt-Predinchuk
Defensive pairings
Cederholm-Texeira
Heinrich-Viveiros
De Jong-Hanson
Goaltenders
Burke
Hill
Scratches: Heid, Flaman, Bittner/McKenzie
Notes: Portland winger Paul Bittner is a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury. If he can’t go, Skyler McKenzie gets the nod. This will be the first time the Tips see Winterhawks defenseman Blake Heinrich as he was injured for the teams’ first four meetings. Portland has recovered, going 7-4 since beginning the season dropping nine of its first 10.
