Michigan Tech at #9 MSU PRE GAME

About 15 minutes to face off here at Alltel Center, and the Mavericks have a chance to solidify one of the final two spots this weekend for home ice advantage in the first round of the WCHA playoffs. Wisconsin is idle this weekend, and only sits one point ahead of MSU in the standings. The other team in the running, St. Cloud, is tied for fifth in the WCHA with the Mavericks and play at #1 North Dakota this weekend. MSU holds the tie-breaker with both teams and looks to capitalize on this golden opportunity at home against the Huskies of Michigan Tech.

Here are the starting line-ups, with starters in italics.
