\nThe Big Green haven’t won since November. It won’t change here. Clarkson 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMight be close, but I like the home team. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhich Yale team shows up, and which Cornell team? I’ll go with home ice. Cornell 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Saints are a good middle-of-the-pack team, beating who they should and losing to who they should. Harvard 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Tigers looked awful last week. Perhaps they’ll get a split here, but again, there’s no percentage in picking it. Penn State 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nA series likely to end in a split. Mercyhurst 3-1, Syracuse 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThis could be a time for Union to get its first win in this home-and-home, but there’s no percentage in picking it. A tie is likely. Rensselaer 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nA home-and-home where the scores could get really ugly, depending on whether the Eagles decide to take it easy or not. Boston College 5-1, 6-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Badgers have owned this matchup for years. Wisconsin 3-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDo the Buckeyes get a little revenge? Probably a split. Ohio State 2-1, St. Cloud 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhich NoDak team shows up, the one that beat Minnesota and Wisconsin, or the one that lost to Ohio State? This was a split back in November and likely is again. North Dakota 3-2, Minnesota-Duluth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nProbably another split, though I have no idea who wins on which night, so … Quinnipiac 2-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHarvard will desperately want to win this for momentum going into the game against BC, but I like Clarkson on home ice. Clarkson 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI can’t get a handle on Yale at all. Colgate has shown strength. Colgate 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Big Red should take this on home ice, but it won’t be the blowout it has been in years past. Cornell 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI’m beginning to wonder when Dartmouth will win again. Possibly against the Saints, but I’ll go with the home team. St. Lawrence 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Black Bears haven’t looked good since October. Northeastern 4-1, 5-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nLet’s go with the home ice teams in this home-and-home. Providence 3-1, Connecticut 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI don’t think the Catamounts are quite at the Terriers’ level, even if that level is down from recent seasons. Boston University 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe Mavericks made one of the two games they played against the Gophers in the first half really close. That’s about all they can hope for. Minnesota 7-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI’d imagine BC is itching to get revenge on the Crimson for its two losses to them last year, especially on Harvard’s home ice. Boston College 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThis might be a chance for the Warriors to pick up another win. Merrimack 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThis could be an upset game. Why not call it that way? Boston University 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
