Moroz, Ouellette out for Super Series Team WHL

Edmonton Oilers prospect Mitchell Moroz and 2013 NHL Draft prospect Trent Ouellette will not be able to play for Team WHL in the final two games of the CHL Subway Super Series.

Moroz, a forward taken in the second round of the 2012 draft and currently playing for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, had been scheduled to play in Games 5 and 6 of the series, Wednesday in Vancouver and Thursday in Victoria, British Columbia. Ouellette, a right wing with the Regina Pats, only was going to play in the Vancouver game.

To replace them, Team WHL will give expanded ice time to three players, two of whom are hoping to hear their names called early in the 2013 draft  -- Sam Fioretti of the Moose Jaw Warriors and Mitchell Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs. Also to get a longer look will be New Jersey Devils prospect Graham Black, who plays for the Swift Current Broncos.

Black and Fioretti previously were only going to play in Game 6 in Victoria, but now will play in both games. Holmberg, who only was set for Game 5 in Vancouver, now also will play in Game 6 in Victoria.

In addition, Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Ryan Murray, currently playing for the Everett Silvertips, was named Team WHL captain for the game in Vancouver. Winnipeg Jets prospect Adam Lowry, who skates for the Swift Current Broncos, will serve as captain for the game in Victoria.

In addition, Griffin Reinhart (Islanders), Morgan Rielly (Maple Leafs) and Mathew Dumba (Wild) were named assistant captains for both Team WHL games against Team Russia.
