Analysis – BSU 2 and UNO 2 – The BSU Beavers have taken five of six points against the UNO Mavericks so far this season and since the UNO Mavericks played the Fighting Sioux in Omaha the UNO Mavericks have come back to earth going 3-5-1. The Beavers on the other hand have gone 5-3-1 since the month of December. [Box Score], [BSU beat writer], [UNO beat writer]
Denver 4 and Minnesota State 4 OT – The Minnesota State Mavericks have been on a bit of a tear as of late losing only to the UND Fighting Sioux and have gone an amazing 8-2-1 since being swept by Denver back in November, losing only to the Fighting Sioux. The Pioneers had to score with 1:16 left to force overtime. [Box Score]
Minnesota 3 and North Dakota 2 – Old Time Fighting Sioux hockey A legal hard check by Brad Malone on Kevin Wehrs and a reaction to the hit by the Golden Gophers hockey team set off a near Donny Brook at center ice at the end of the second period but when order was restored the two teams played hockey the Minnesota Golden Gophers hung on by the skin of their teeth and won on a power play goal by Nico Sacchetti in the third period, yeah say that name 15 times really fast. [Box Score], [UND Hockey Blog], [Goal Gophers],[fan comments from Star and Trib article],[USCHO Arena Reporter]
Wisconsin 0 and Minnesota Duluth 2 – The UMD Bulldogs beat the Badgers for the third time this season and if my math is correct the Wisconsin Badgers have a record of 0-6-2 against ranked teams. [Box Score], [UMD beat writer], [60 minutes. No Alibis. No Regrets]
Colorado College 1 and Alaska Anchorage 4 – This was the first game the UAA Seawolves had played in five weeks according to the post game interview with UAA head coach Dave Shyiak and the Seawolves made it count with a 4-1 win against the Tigers. The Seawolves went 3 for 3 on the power play. This was the 4th game between UAA and C.C. this season and the rubber game is tonight.
With the win the Seawolves are 4 points out of 6th place (top six get home ice) and UAA very possibly could get home ice if they keep up their winning ways. I don’t think anyone wants to go up to Anchorage to play the Seawolves in the first round of the WCHA playoffs. [Box Score]
St. Lawrence 4 and Michigan Tech 4 OT – The MTU Huskies have had a miserable season and haven’t won a game in sixteen games pushed the streak to 17 games, got the tie against a St Lawrence in Houghton, Michigan. [Box Score]
