CSUF Line Pairings

Hey everyone,

Below are Coach Wilbur's expected line pairings and lineup for this week's series against Cal State Fullerton. There are some key names missing and this is all subject to change.

Forward Lines
Cardinal: Nick Helmer - Cory Adler - Adam Zacuto
Gold: Noah Comisar - Mitchell Landsinger - Max Ernst
Teal: Scott Mason - Charlie Mach - Max Szentveri
Green: Clark McClanathan - Vishal Gajendran - Alex Jurdi

Defense:
Michael Gawlik, Jason Bush, Matt Lewis, Dante Caravaggio, Alex Hite, James Anderson

Goalie:
Phil Adams, Zack Keith, Adam Kwon

Some interesting notes about this lineup:

- There are two new players on the top line. Freshman star Nick Helmer and Arizona transfer Adam Zacuto. Helmer has looked like a top line player all along, skating at a whole different speed during practices. I'm curious to see what he does in a game situation. I haven't seen as much from Zacuto, except for an absolutely ridiculous breakaway move that finished with the puck tucked just underneath the crossbar.
- Phil Adams was listed ahead of Zack Keith on the goaltending depth chart, and may end up the starter this weekend. However, the list also happened to be in alphabetical order, so we'll have to find out for sure later tonight.
- Josh Cerasuolo and Josh Frazier are listed as scratches for this weekend. Cerasuolo is out due to a fractured arm. I'm not positive on the exact reason why Frazier is out for this series.
- There were several prominent Trojans expected to be on this year's team that were not even listed on the full numbered roster or as scratches. Star junior Alex Lofthus is not in the list and his #12 was given to Josh Cerasuolo. Defenseman Alex Schauffhausen is not on the roster either. Finally, the anticipated return of Ryder Fyrwald may not happen after all as he is unlisted as well. However, Alex Jurdi and Vishal Gajendran are listed as playing, but weren't listed on the roster either. Tune into the game for more details on what all of their situations are.

Listen in tonight! Should be fun.
