Ontario Reign Lines
(based on last game, via Reign Insider)
Adrian Kempe – Nic Dowd – Joel Lowry

Jordan Samuels-Thomas – Andrew Crescenzi – Justin Auger
Ryan Horvat – Kris Newbury – Paul Bissonnette
Kurtis MacDermid – Vincent LoVerde

- An interesting note as the Reign try to fend off the Gulls: Reign have lost all 5 “0 days rest” games to Gulls this year. Ontario has a 13-9-1-0 back-to-back regular season record; San Diego is12-9-3-0.
- Birthday boy Michael Amadio scored the overtime GWG and has impressed in his short time since turning pro, earning praise from Head Coach Mike Stothers (and rave reviews from some other reporters).
- Can birthday boy Justin Auger keep the trend going tonight?
- Update: Zach Leslie is in again. Sam Herr is out for warm-ups, but I guess he sits out.

Laganiere – Bailey – Tropp
Cramarossa – Kossila – Kase

- It doesn’t appear as though netminder Anton Khudobin is ready yet but Matt Hackett has been excellent in his stead.
- The Gulls continue to rotate recent roster additions Kalle Kossila, Andrew Welinski, Brian Cooper, and Jacob Larsson in and out of the lineup. With everything on the line, who will Head Coach Dallas Eakins put his trust in tonight?
- Update: Joe Piskula looks like he’s in for the injured Stu Bickel. Michael Sgarbossa is out for warm-ups, is he just testing his injury?
