(5) Ohio State at (1) Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

These two split a series earlier this year and I\u2019d expect the same outcome from this weekend. Saturday\u2019s game is being played outside at Parade Park in Minneapolis as part of Hockey Day Minnesota. It\u2019ll be televised by FoxSports North with Krissy Wendell and Gigi Marvin on the call. It\u2019s supposed to snow, be very windy and the low for the day is -2. Bless the folks trying to keep that ice playable that day.<\/p>\n

Connecticut vs (3) Northeastern<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern have proven difficult to beat and they swept UConn last year. However, Connecticut is one of those teams that has the ability to surprise anyone \u2013 Northeastern has to make sure not to look past these games. I think Northeastern sweeps.<\/p>\n

Dartmouth at (4) Cornell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union gave a good blueprint for stymieing the Big Red, so this isn\u2019t a gimme game, but I do think Cornell takes it.<\/p>\n

(9) Harvard at (4) Cornell<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be interested to see how Cornell\u2019s forwards handle shooting against Lindsay Reed. This game is a toss-up as far as I\u2019m concerned \u2013 there are very good arguments for each team to win. I\u2019ll pick Harvard for the upset.<\/p>\n

St. Lawrence vs (7) Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think this series might end up a split, with each team winning at home. Clarkson needs the points and to get back on track, which may be enough motivation.<\/p>\n

Holy Cross vs (8) Boston University<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Terriers should sweep this weekend series. I don\u2019t think Holy Cross can stop their offense.<\/p>\n

(9) Harvard at Colgate<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is probably silly, but I don\u2019t think Harvard sweeps or gets swept this weekend. By that token, I think what happens in their game with Cornell might dictate how this one goes. Since I picked the Crimson to win before, I\u2019m saying I think this will be a loss or tie.<\/p>\n

Bemidji State at (10) Minnesota Duluth<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Beavers swept the Bulldogs at home early on this season but UMD beat Bemidji to win the MN Cup a few weeks ago. I expect this series will be just as contentious. BSU is coming off the high of beating Wisconsin and Minnesota Duluth is looking to claw their up the national rankings. I think we\u2019ll see a split.<\/p>\n

Syracuse at Robert Morris<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Orange showed they\u2019re not giving up their shot at a regular season title without a fight last weekend against Mercyhurst. They still sit one point behind both RMU and the Lakers. I expect we\u2019ll see a split, but I think both teams have the chance to sweep. It should be a very good series.<\/p>\n

St. Michael\u2019s at LIU<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIU is five points up on St. Michael\u2019s in the NEWHA standings, but they lost to the Purple Knights when the two teams met earlier in the season. Both teams are winless over their last six games, so someone will get the chance to get things back on track. I think LIU starts a winning streak with a sweep this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
