Friday Morning Skate

The No. 4 Mavericks are on the road for the second straight week and face a tough challenge in No. 20 Lake Superior State. Minnesota State, coming off a split at Bemidji State, will try avoiding two losses in a row tonight, as, perhaps, their last game illustrated a few areas they need to clean up in order to keep improving as a team.

For more on the series, check out the College Hockey Gameday feature.

No big MSU men's feature this week, but I did write about the MSU women's team's Ms. Versatility, Tristen Truax, who has played (or at least dressed at) all three positions in her short college career. The Mavericks will host Ohio State Saturday and Sunday at the Verizon Center.

Going around the WCHA ...

Bemidji State at Michigan Tech: The Beavers will try to do what they did last week against the Mavs and hand the Huskies their first league loss of the year. Tech is coming off an emotional weekend at home against Alaska.

Ferris State at Alaska: The Bulldogs were off last weekend after getting swept in Mankato and look to break a four-game losing streak, while the Nanooks must be glad to be back at home for just the third times this season.

Bowling Green at Alabama Huntsville: The Falcons and Chargers will meet for a Saturday-Sunday series, each getting an extra day off even after being idle last weekend.

Northern Michigan is off but played Notre Dame on Tuesday, falling 2-1 in overtime on the road. Alaska Anchorage is also idle, although, Jack Hittinger featured the Seawolves this week on USCHO.
