The Mavericks will be without one of their top scorers this weekend in Anchorage, as Jason Wiley is staying back in Mankato with an injury suffered last Saturday against Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Mavericks are third in the WCHA in goal scoring, despite having no goals from captain Mick Berge and a power play that has just five goals -- including three 5x3s -- in six games.
In Anchorage, goal scoring is not a problem this season, and they have one of the top snipers in the WCHA right now in sophomore Tommy Grant.
Grant is tied for the league lead in goals with Minnesota captain Ryan Stoa, who leads the fourth-ranked Gophers into this weekend's matchup with fifth-ranked New Hampshire.
In Colorado Springs, CC goalie Richard Bachman, the reigning WCHA MVP is picking up right where he left off. The No. 1 Tigers will host an "inconsistent" North Dakota team this weekend.
Wisconsin, coming off its first win of the season, is hosting Michigan Tech, and goalie Shane Connelly seems to be having a season unlike any of the Badgers' previous goaltenders.
The St. Cloud State Huskies, who are 0-3 in the WCHA, are hoping a nonconference series with Robert Morris can cure what ails ails them.
