Gameday

It's gameday, and the Mavericks are in need of some points as they play a home-and-home WCHA series against St. Cloud State. The Mavericks are trying to snap a four-game winless streak that followed a 6-1-2 stretch. ... When they play Saturday in St. Cloud, it will be the final return home for senior defenseman and alternate captain R.J. Linder. ... Sophomore forward and leading scorer  Trevor Bruess will be back in the lineup after missing last Saturday's game due to a Friday-night fight. ... Defenseman Nick Canzanello returned to practice this week after suffering a leg injury in Duluth and could return this weekend, coach Troy Jutting said. ... Goalie Mike Zacharias will start. Full lines will be posted before the game tonight.

It would seem that the Mavs would match up as well with SCSU as with anybody they'll see in conference play.

St. Cloud has a lot of little guys that like to skate around and make plays flying up and down the ice. They don't necessarily like to grind it out a la UND.

An argument could be made that if SCSU does what the Mavs do and do it better that it might not be such a good matchup.

Any thoughts, Shane?
