Bottom line, short and simple, it is a new year and CC has yet to play a game that counts. In their exhibition outings this year, the Tigers have had success scoring, but have also given up a fair number of goals.
UMD came into their non-confernece weekend last after scoring big in exhibition, but then hitting a wall against MTU scoring just three goals in two games. UMD needs to find that scoring touch and keep up their defensive play to have success this weekend at Colorado College.
Picks by @afiskness. Last weekends' outcomes with NCHC teams did not have many big surprises. Based on the conferences results against the other conferences it looks like the NCHC may be the top conference. These non-conference wins will go a long way when March arrives and the NCAA tournament is being decided.
Minnesota Duluth @ Colorado College: Last weekends games against Michigan Tech were two low scoring games. It is hard to say if this was good defense or poor offense. This weekend games are likely to be higher scoring. I will go with a split. You can watch Friday's game on CBS Sport network.
North Dakota @ Miami: Miami had no problems scoring last weekend. It is likely that North Dakota will be a strong foe than the Buckeyes were. It is hard to pick anything other than a split.
Nebraska Omaha @ Northern Michigan: The Wildcats had a couple low scoring losses last weekend and are looking to bounce back. The Mavericks split against the Falcons from Maltham, Mass. in a disapointing home opener. Safe pick is a split.
Alaska Gold RushWestern Michigan vs. Alaska Anchorage & Alaska: The Seawolves have two wins and would like to keep there hot streak going. These would be some slow paced low scoring games. I will go with a Western Michigan tie and win.
Denver vs. Alaska & Alaska Anchorage: Denver looks to keep their winning streak alive. I will go with a Pioneers sweep and the tournament win.
