Game Notes
— No official word on Zachary Borgiel other than he wasn't able to make the trip this weekend. Hugo Ollas will make his third straight start tonight.
— The Warriors are dressing the same players as last night, but some lines have shuffled.
Alex Jefferies and Matt Copponi swap places, so Jefferies will center, and Copponi will play the right wing. Ethan Bono will play left wing on Chase Stevenson's line, which bumps Ty Daneault to the right wing and makes Michael Citara the extra skater.
There were no changes defensively.
