Mavericks move up to third

Minnesota State is ranked No. 3 in the latest U.S. College Hockey Online poll as well as the USA Today/USA Hockey rankings. The rankings that really matter are the Pairwise, of course, and the Mavericks are fourth there and if they remain there would be a No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament.
