Getting ready to hit the road to Bemidji for this weekends intra-state rivalry series between the No. 3 Mavericks and the Beavers.
If Mathias Israelsson starts in goal tonight for MSU (which seems likely but is not guaranteed), it will be his seventh consecutive start, a first for for the graduate transfer from Northern Michigan, who has finally found a home at Minnesota State.
This is the first weekend of a tough stretch for the Mavericks, who must go on the road for three of the next four conference series.

The Bemidji Pioneer also takes a look at the series.
Going around the rest of the WCHA ...
Northern Michigan at Lake Superior State: These are two teams starting off opposite of what was predicted at the beginning of the season. The Wildcats hope they got thing headed back in the right direction after sweeping Alaska Anchorage this weekend, while the No. 20 Lakers are ranked for the first time in two years. NMU also plays at Notre Dame on Tuesday.
Alaska at Michigan Tech: After playing eight consecutive games on the road (and going 5-3-0), the Huskies are back home to face the Nanooks. Alaska played six in a row on the road before going home to Fairbanks last week. Now, it's traveling again to Houghton.
Alaska Anchorage at North Dakota: Speaking of long road trips, the Seawolves, who have just one win, are in the midst of a 10-game road swing. This weekend's set against the Fighting Hawks could be a rather low-scoring affair, based on what the two teams have done so far.
