F (15): Walker Duehr, Reece Vitelli, Kevin Conley, Samuel Fagemo, Danny Zhilkin, Mason Shaw, Tyson Empey, Jacob Julien*, Fabian Wagner, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Brayden Yager, Phil Di Giuseppe, Colby Barlow, Jack O’Leary and Chase Yoder.

*Prospect Jacob Julien out 6-8 weeks with a lower-body injury.

Lines:
