See why in our preview.
Hit the ice: You can skate on the same ice as the Everett Silvertips and help prevent flu or whooping cough when Comcast Arena hosts a free public skate and vaccination clinic. From 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, 300 doses of adult flu vaccine and 300 whooping cough vaccinations will be administered. We assume you will have to pause from skating to get the injections.
