#14 Riley Sutter, F, lower body,
week-to-week
-Brycen Martin not only played in the last three games of the season for Everett, he had an assist each, in the last two. Martin has been Everett's most consistent defenseman, since being acquired from Saskatoon
-Dawson Leedahl, was a big factor in Everett's win a couple weeks ago over Portland and has really struggled to get back into the lineup since breaking his hand in early February. He is not only Everett's emotional leader and team captain, he provides a heavy presence that causes all kinds of problems for the other team, with big checks. Leedahl was a participant in practice today and it would take another setback, in my opinion, to get someone with his competitiveness to sit out game one.
-Carson Stadnyk also played in Everett's last three games and had a goal in that span. He has been inconsistent, but has the ability to put the team on his back and provide a big goal or two.
-Mackenzie Dwyer is a depth d-man, who will miss at least round one of the playoffs. The play of rookie d-man Jake Christiansen, makes this loss easier for them to withstand.
-Riley Sutter has been out since January 22nd, when he broke his tibia, but returned to practice this week. I would say that the rookie, will not be much of a factor in this series, healthy or not, but Evrett has gotten big goals from their rookies all year, so you cannot count him out.
-Tristen Pfeifer has missed the team's last four games and has not been in practice this week. He has been a top-four d-man at times this year for Everett and at the very least would play 13-16 minutes a night if he was healthy. If Pfeifer does not play this series, the top-four of Martin, Noah Juulsen, Cole MacDonald and Kevin Davis could get worn down, especially if there is a few overtime games in the mix.
Portland Injuries:
-Paul Bittner is the only injury for Portland right now and he should be out for at least the first round.
Winterhawks in the NHL Tuesday:
-18:49 of ice time for Oliver Bjorkstrand in Columbus's 3-2 shootout win over Philadelphia. He was a plus one, with two shots on net, while blocking a shot. He was stopped on his shootout attempt, which is no surprise to Portland fans, who watched him surprisingly struggle in the circus in his WHL career. Seth Jones and Brandon Dubinsky each had an assist in the Blue Jackets' win.-Colton Sceviour had a goal and an assist for Dallas as they blew out Chicago 6-2.Bjorkstrand up...— The CBJ Artillery (@TheCBJArtillery) March 23, 2016
He's poke checked away.
