Analysis
Michigan put an end to Notre Dame's 20 game unbeaten streak. UNO falling fast and is 4-5-4 in their last thirteen also going 2-2 in shootouts. Miami pounded BGSU, I watched that game on the NHL network and Miami's futures looks promising.

CHA
Bemidji State 5 at Robert Morris 3
Niagara 4 at Alabama-Huntsville 2

Analysis
With four teams in the CHA, BSU and RMU are going to see a lot of each other in the coming weeks. RMU is going to play six of the last twelve games against the Beavers. RMU is also going to spend 11 days in Bemidji.

ECAC
Quinnipiac 5 at Brown 1
Cornell 1 at St. Lawrence 8
Union 1 at Harvard 3
Princeton 1 at Yale 3
Colgate 3 at Clarkson 1
Rensselaer 2 at Dartmouth 5

Analysis
Well, well, well. What do we have here? Princeton loses to Yale and Cornell is pounded by Saint Larry. Princeton drops down to 11th in the pair wise ranking and is 2-4-1 in January beating Harvard and Robert Morris University. Cornell while tied for three right now in the PWR/RPI will drop if it continues to lose due to it's weak strength of schedule.

Boston College 2 at Providence 2 ot
Vermont 2 at New Hampshire 3
Boston University 3 at Merrimack 1
Northeastern 4 at Massachusetts 6
Mass.-Lowell 3 at Maine 2

Northeastern loses to UMass. Since December Boston College is 3-5-3, definitely the loss of Nate Gerbe is a big blow to the Eagles.

WCHA
Alaska-Anchorage 2 at Denver 6
North Dakota 0 at St. Cloud State 3
Minnesota 2 at Minnesota State 6
Minnesota-Duluth 1 at Wisconsin 3

Analysis
The home teams all won in the WCHA last night. Split on the road and sweep at home.
I don't see how UAA takes any points from Denver this weekend. It will be interesting to see how Minnesota responds tonight.
