At 7-1-0, the Mavericks have been really good. One of the reasons for that has been their ability to plug in the holes in their lineup left by the departure of some high-scoring forwards. Case in point is right wing on the No. 1 line where speedster Charlie Gerard has already made a big mark.

Ferris State, meanwhile, is being led by a pair of defensemen, including one of the WCHA's top rookies.
Going around the rest of the WCHA ...
• Lake Superior State at Bowling Green: This is a big series between the much-improved Lakers and the No. 10 Falcons, who are trying to get their power play clicking like it was in the first weeks of the season.
• Alaska Anchorage at Northern Michigan: The host Wildcats are hoping to get back on track after getting swept at home by Cornell. Not many people thought they'd be 3-7-0 right now. The Seawolves, meanwhile are looking for their first win since Oct. 7.
• Alabama Huntsville at Alaska: The Nanooks got their first win of the season last Saturday at Lake State. The Chargers are still looking for theirs after starting off 0-10. This series marks the return of Lance West to Fairbanks. The UAH assistant coach was Alaska's interim head coach last year.
• There are a couple of good nonconfernece series last Bemidji State goes to St. Cloud State for an in-state showdown, and Michigan Tech, which is coming off a sweep of Ferris State goes to Clarkson.
