Game Notes

— Hugo Ollas will dress today as the backup, but Zachary Borgiel will start in net for the Warriors. As noted on Friday, Ollas didn't dress against Brown due to an illness. Steven Bacovsky mistakenly wasn’t on the original line sheet (see below) but he is dressed for the Warriors today.

— Adam Arvedsson is back in the lineup for the Warriors today, replacing Max Wattvil. On Friday night, Wattvil played one shift in the first period but didn't see the ice the rest of the game. Scott Borek said postgame that Wattvil was also dealing with an illness.

The Warriors have something running through the locker room.
