Game 3: Matchup? Changeup

The ATOs are out. The boys who brung ’em are in. Howes, McNeely, Mouillierat in. Persson and Nelson sit. Guess if you’re gonna go out, go out looking like you did at your best. And a few of these lines look very familiar.

Both teams have one to scratch. All appearances are Marcinko and Klassen, which means no change from last night for the Whale. Edit: true.

You may’ve seen on Twitter that Casey Cizikas’ game misconduct last night was changed from abuse-of-official to a different rule, the continuing-an-altercation rule, the wording of which includes “resist(ing) a Linesman in the discharge of his duties.”
