Minnesota State is back on the road, going to Ferris State for a WCHA series. The Mavericks will have head coach Mike Hastings back behind the bench for the first time since early December, having missed six games while with the U.S.'s World Junior team.
College Hockey News this week did a Q&A with Hastings about his experience at the WJC.
The Mavericks are hoping to improve their play away from Mankato, where they are 5-5-1. That's one of the five things to know about this weekend's series in the Free Press' College Hockey Gameday story.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are coming off a pair of series splits, including two overtime games at Alabama Huntsville last weekend.
Going around the WCHA ...
Bowling Green at Michigan Tech: Big series in Houghton between the second- and fourth-place teams in the WCHA. With the league season at the halfway mark, the Falcons are trying to maintain their good position and improve in order to keep it. The Huskies, meanwhile, are hoping to snap a three-game losing streak that includes games last weekend at Minnesota State.
Alaska at Bemidji State: The Beavers are back at home, fresh off an impressive split at Bowling Green, while the Nanooks are on the road for the first time since late November after going 2-4-0 on its most-recent home stand.
Alabama Huntsville at Lake Superior State: The Lakers haven't been at home for a regular-season game since Dec. 1 but they've been doing just fine since, going 6-0-0 away from Sault Ste. Marie. This weekend, they'll face the Chargers, who have three of their four wins on the road.
Northern Michigan at Alaska Anchorage: The Wildcats have put themselves in the WCHA race by winning four games in a row and five of their last six. They're on the road against the Seawolves, who have just two victories this season. USCHO has a feature on NMU goaltender Atte Tolvanen.
