Analysis – It was wild night of college hockey in the WCHA.
Bemidji State 2 - Michigan Tech 2 OT – The Michigan Tech Huskies are flirting with history and it’s not what I would classify as being positive. The hapless Huskies haven’t won a hockey game since October 15th and extended their winnless streak to 25 games. The Huskies have only won one game all season in WCHA play. With the tie last night the Beavers record is now 10-14-3 overall and 6-12-3 in the WCHA play. The hapless Michigan Tech Huskies sport an unimpressive 3-22-4 record overall and 1-18-2 record in WCHA play. [Up North Sports Report]
Denver 2 - Minnesota 1 – Jason Zucker scored the game-winning goal of the 4:01 mark of the third period to lead the Pioneers over the not so Golden Gophers 2-1. The Gophers with the loss are looking more like a team that is going to be on the road for the first round of the WCHA playoffs. If the playoffs started today the Gophers who are currently are sitting in 8th place would have to travel to Omaha to face the UNO Mavericks, a team that swept them earlier in the season. The moral victory of the night was that the Gopher out shot the Pioneers 37-30. With the loss the Gophers' record drops to 11-12-4 overall and 8-10-3 in WCHA play. Gopher fans are lining up with pitch forks and rakes and calling for the head of Gopher head coach Don Lucia. The not so Golden Gophers are now winless sporting a 0-3-1 record in their past four games. The Denver Pioneers with the win improved to 18-6-5 and lead the WCHA with a 14-4-3 record.

Alaska Anchorage 1 - North Dakota 6 – The Fighting Sioux used their speed and blew by the UAA Seawolves all night long like the Seawolves were a big slow lumbering team. It will be interesting to see if the Seawolves make adjustments to their game plan tonight after being beat soundly on Friday Night. With the loss the UAA Seawolves sit in 6th place of the WCHA standings tied with the C.C. Tigers. The Seawolves record is 10-14-3 overall and 9-12-2 in WCHA play. With the win the Fighting Sioux are 20-8-2 and 15-6-0 and sit in second place all alone. With the win head coach Dave Hakstol's teams have won 20 games seven consecutive seasons in a row.

Minnesota State 5 at Colorado College 1 – The Colorado College Tigers have give up five or more goals in three of the last four games. With the loss the C.C. Tigers are sitting in 6th place of the WCHA. The4 Tigers are 16-14-1 overall and 10-11-0 in WCHA play. The Mavericks with the win improve to 13-12-6 and 7-12-4 and are tied for 9th place with the SCSU Huskies. According to the C.C. beat writer injured freshman Jaden Schwartz will probably join the Tigers in practice next week, that could be good news for the Tigers. [Puckato], [Eye of the Tigers]
Wisconsin 1 - Nebraska-Omaha 4 – The Mavericks beat the Wisconsin Badgers and now sit in fourth place of the WCHA standings with a 13-6-2 record in WCHA play and a 17-10-2 record overall. The Omaha newspaper head line says that the Mavs upset No. 7 Badgers, 4-1, which is misleading because with the loss tonight the Badgers have a 1-8-2 record against ranked teams. The two teams played in front of a record crowd 15,137 at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The two team play game two tonight. With the loss the Badgers fall to 19-9-3 overall and have a 11-8-2 record in WCHA play and sit in 5th place. [Madison.com], [Omaha.com]
St. Cloud State 8 - Minnesota Duluth 2 – In the battle of the dogs the SCSU Huskies spanked the UMD Bulldogs 8-2 in front of a stunned home crowd at Amsoil Arena and showed that the SCSU Huskies aren’t ready to roll over and give up the fight just yet. The Bulldogs
