BDS Notes:
Going into the weekend, I reported that both Maarten Paes and Paxton Pomykal were seen on the club’s social media as part of the travel group to Portland. I don’t anticipate we’ll see either actually in this game. The club stated their status would be updated before kickoff tomorrow.
Portland, on the other hand, does have a few injuries to deal with and are coming off a midweek game in Vancouver where they gave up a late goal to the Whitecaps in that 1-1 draw.
