Landon Oslanski, the only Everett player to appear in all 72 games this season, gets another game at forward.

Wotherspoon-Hamonic

Scratches: Dow, Plutnar, Dallman, Chynoweth, Topping, Carlo, Comrie.

Notes: Tri-City decides to play one short to rest up its defense in advance of the playoffs. The Americans have an injury list that includes goaltender Eric Comrie (hip), defenseman Mitch Topping (lower body), and forwards Tyson Dallman (lower body) and Ryan Chynoweth (upper body). Two call-ups, 17-year-old Fraser Bulbuc and 15-year-old defenseman Parker Wotherspoon, get the call.
