Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look at the games of the past weekend and at top news of the week.
No. 1 Minnesota fell from the ranks of the unbeaten in a split at No. 12 Wisconsin. That’s good news for the Badgers and not necessarily bad for the Gophers.
No. 6 St. Cloud State got a weekend sweep – including a come-from-behind win and by scoring the only goal in OT – at No. 5 Minnesota Duluth.
No. 2 Boston College split with New Hampshire, with the road teams winning each end of the weekend in overtime.
The ECAC is tight right out of the gate, and close results and OT games proved it.
Then No. 20 Robert Morris has 11 wins and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Also … The Riley family notched its 1,000 win behind the Army West Point bench for father Jack and sons Rob and Brian. Three-on-three overtime is getting more comfortable for teams, with 12-of-14 overtime games being decided before a shootout. And is scoring up? It feels like it.
