Tuesday — yes, Tuesday — Morning Skate

The No. 7 Mavericks will host No. 9 Minnesota Duluth in a rare Tuesday-night game. It should be a good one between two teams playing some pretty good hockey lately. Minnesota State is 9-2-0 since losing to the Bulldogs in Duluth on Thanksgiving weekend.

Between Hockey Day Minnesota in St. Cloud and playing UMD today, it's a special week for the Mavericks, but also one they hope to finish off with a "weekend" sweep.

Read more about tonight's matchup here.

A Tuesday game means a quick turnaround for both teams. UMD is coming off a home sweep of North Dakota but, like MSU and its win at St. Cloud State on Saturday, there isn't much time to enjoy it. More here in the Duluth News Tribune's preview.

The UMD family suffered a tragedy on Monday as former captain Andrew Carroll died after a fall at Chicago's O'Hare airport. He was 32 and played for the Bulldogs from 2005-2009.
