What did I miss?

PucKato's back after a few days away. So what happened over the weekend? Well, the Mavericks are still in ninth place in the WCHA standings, five points behind Alaska-Anchorage and Minnesota after Anchorage grabbed a point at St. Cloud State on Friday night (MSU does have four games in hand on the Seawolves) and five points ahead of Michigan Tech, which split a Winter Carnival weekend series with Minnesota Duluth.

Minnesota State will travel to No. 3 Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday for its final full road weekend of the regular season. After that, the Mavericks will host Alaska-Anchorage and No. 2 Denver and play a home-and-home series against No. 4 St. Cloud State.

So can the Mavericks, who have 13 points, catch Anchorage, Minnesota or even North Dakota in the standings? Here are those teams' remaining schedules:

Alaska-Anchorage (18 points)
Feb. 12-13 - idle
Feb. 19-20 - at Minnesota State
Feb. 26-27 - at Alaska (nonconference)
March 5-6 - vs. Minnesota Duluth

Minnesota (18 points)
Feb. 12-13 - at Denver
Feb. 19-20 - vs. Colorado College
Feb. 26-27 - at Minnesota Duluth
March 5-6 - vs. Wisconsin

North Dakota (19 points)
Feb. 12-13 - at St. Cloud State
Feb. 19-20 - vs. Minnesota Duluth
Feb. 26-27 - at Colorado College
March 5-6 - vs. Michigan Tech
