Interesting move by Everett tonight as Kent Simpson gets the start in goal. Thomas Heemskerk started last night and had an up-and-down performance in Everett’s 5-4 overtime victory. Usually teams stick with their goaltenders during the playoffs, but Tips coach Craig Hartsburg had suggested he might continue his regular-season policy of playing the hot hand. This verifies that suggestion.
Otherwise it’s the same lineup with one possible change as defenseman Paul Sohor will take the warm-up. No one else is listed as a question mark, however. Forwards Tyler Giebel and Josh Winquist and defensemen Gabe Minville and Nicholas Walters are healthy scratches.
Same lineup for Kelowna as well. Forwards Cody Chikie (shoulder) and Kyle St. Denis (concussion) are out injured. Forward Sean Aschim and defenseman MacKenzie Johnston are healthy scratches.
