Game of the Week: BU v. Massachusetts
This week's Game of the Week was easy. There's only one HockeyEast matchup until the schedule picks up next weekend. Neither team has played a conference game yet and each is hoping to pick up a win and even up with BC, Maine, and Providence. Massachusetts didn't win either of their games last weekend and is looking to inch toward .500 this weekend. Meanwhile, a win for BU would make them 3-0 overall and could push them a few spots ahead in USCHO rankings. BU's David Warsofsky is tied (with fellow Terrier Sahir Gill) for the league lead in points with 5.
Players to watch: Sahir Gill, BU (Fr) and Michael Pereira, Mass (Fr)
National Game of the Week - #1 Boston College at #6 Denver
BC is coming off a close win with Northeastern. Look for Denver to come out swinging hopefully to make a push toward the #1 spot in the nation. And what's more, they'll have two chances to do it in back-to-back matchups.
Elsewhere in College Hockey
#3 Michigan at #9 UNH - Like Denver, UNH is looking to jump up in the rankings against a tough Michigan squad, especially with HockeyEast foe BU hot on their heels.
#8 Maine at #20 Michigan State - Mich. State hasn't been tested yet this year, and Maine is looking to hold their spot atop UNH and BU in the USCHO rankings.
Providence at #7 Minnesota-Duluth - After winning last weekend against Northeastern, Providence has been given a big chance to prove themselves as a tough member of HockeyEast.
