Just less than six hours now until the puck drops tonight at the Alltel Center with the first game of the home-and-home series vs. the Huskies. Kael Mouillierat will be back in the lineup tonight, after missing the last five games and Andy Sackrison has been cleared to play. Jerad Stewart, however, will be out this weekend.
Jutting said earlier in the week that all or zero of those three forwards might be in the lineup, but it looks like it will be two.
I'll post the line charts when I get to the rink. See ya there. Oh yeah, forgot my MSU prediction to match the ones below. The Mavericks have been very good against St. Cloud State in the past, and I think will be OK again. MSU sweep.
Other WCHA matchups
No. 8 Denver at Michigan Tech
The Pioneers are coming off a 4-1 victory against No. 10 Air Force last weekend, but travel to Houghton, Mich., still looking for their first road win (0-3). The Huskies, however, were swept by Bemidji State last weekend and went winless in the month of November (0-8-1). With Tech struggling to score goals and Denver not, I'm going to look past Denver's away record and say it will be fine this weekend.
Prediction: Denver sweep
No. 15 Alaska-Anchorage at Wisconsin
Despite the Seawolves' unpredictable start to the season, they happen to be running into a very good Wisconsin team that's playing its best hockey of the season right now. The Badgers have won seven of their last nine after a winless October. UAA was off last weekend after splitting with Colorado College the series before in Anchorage. The Seawolves have earned some quality wins this season but with how the Badgers are playing as of late, I have to go with the Badgers.
Prediction: Wisconsin sweep
Minnesota-Duluth at No. 5 Colorado College
The Bulldogs haven't been on the road for quite some time and the Tigers have lost just one game in Colorado Springs this season. UMD has been playing well lately, coming off a 5-1 win against St. Cloud State in Duluth on Saturday.
Prediction: Split
Nonconference
North Dakota at Harvard
The Fighting Sioux shouldn't have a problem in this series, but if they do, they're going to be in trouble.
Prediction: North Dakota sweep
