Everett vs. Seattle lineup notes
Published 6:10 pm Saturday, October 25, 2014
EVERETT (7-1-2-1)
Forward lines
Bajkov-Bauml-Scherbak
Low-Nikolishin-Stadnyk
Millar-Laurencelle-Aasman
Malenica-Fonteyne-Wegleitner
Defensive pairings
Betker-Juulsen
MacDonald-Davis
Skrumeda-Pfeifer
Goaltenders
Lotz
Hart
Scratches: Leedahl, Wharrie, Cochrane
Notes: Everett makes two changes from Friday night’s 3-1 victory over Tri-City. Austin Lotz gets the nod in goal in place of Carter Hart, and winger Nik Malenica comes into the lineup to make his WHL debut. The top three lines and all three defensive pairings remain the same. Winger Dawson Leedahl is out with a long-term knee injury.
SEATTLE (5-5-1-1)
Forward lines
Volcan-Eansor-Neuls
Gropp-Barzal-Hickman
Baltram-True-Kolesar
Pederson/Holowko-Elder-Spencer
Defensive pairings
Hauf-Smith
Ottenbreit-Bear
Allan-Khaira
Goaltenders
Kozun
Flodell
Scratches: Theodore, Wardley, Osterman, Mumaugh, Pederson/Holowko.
Notes: Seattle is without two of its top defensemen as Shea Theodore is still with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks rehabilitating an elbow injury, while Evan Wardley is serving the sixth game of his seven-game suspension for a checking-to-the-head major penalty. Both wingers Lane Pederson and Nick Holowko will take the warm-up, but just one will play. Seattle is still carrying three goaltenders, so Danny Mumaugh is the odd-man out tonight.
