Silvertips to play shorthanded

Everett has three games before the holiday break: tonight against the Tri-City Americans at home, Friday at Vancouver, B.C., and Saturday at Portland.

After a nine-day break, the Silvertips will return to action with a very short bench with seven players away at all-star tournaments and a key veteran injured.

Center Mark Kress, who has 10 points in 30 games, has a fractured arm and is out for at least three weeks.

Defenseman Ivan Baranka and winger Karel Hromas will be at the World Junior Championships Dec. 25 through Jan. 4 in Grand Forks, N.D.

Hamill, Calla, Brennan Zasitko, Jonathan Harty and Leland Irving will be at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Lethbridge, Alberta, from Dec. 28 through Jan. 4.

All four of the Silvertips' games while they are shorthanded will be against U.S. Division teams, including two games against Seattle that could decide the division leader

Not unusual this time of year. Calgary only dressed 16 skaters last night against Kelowna.

Who'd they dress as a backup goaltender? I was talking to a few Hitmen players a couple weeks ago, and even they didn't know who their third-stringer was, or if one even existed.
