Tonight, UND will play the game without 2/3 of the CBS line. Drake Caggiula and Nick Schmaltz are both out with injuries. Their status is still unknown, but it's not believed that both will be out long term. There will be updates as the series plays out.
Shorthanded or not, UND "should" still sweep this series. There is a reason the Tigers have won five games this season. UND will not overlook the Tigers.
Looking at the lineup sheets, the Tigers have three NHL draft choices in their lineup. On the other side of the ice, UND has 9 NHL draft choices, there are actually 10 if you count goalie Matej Tomek who is listed as UND's third string on tonight's lineup sheet.
There’s more than enough talent up and down the UND roster to beat the Tigers. The Tigers are near the bottom of all the important NCAA division I categories. Injuries or not, The Hawks should still prevail with a series sweep.
