I had a decent week, barring CHA picks, going 22-5-5 (.765) to bring my season record to 287-81-44 (.750). We have some big series this week, including battles of top 10 teams, so hopefully I can do OK.<\/p>\n

Friday, Jan. 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nHome ice won’t be enough to get the Big Green a win against the surging Tigers. Princeton 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Harvard<\/strong>
\nThe Crimson took the Bobcats to OT back in December. Something tells me they get a win. Harvard 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nThe Engineers could play spoiler, but I like the Raiders. Colgate 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Union<\/strong>
\nThe Dutchwomen’s travails continue. Cornell 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Northeastern<\/strong>
\nThe Huskies are one of the elite. The Wildcats are improving, but aren’t there. Northeastern 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Jan. 29-30<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse at Mercyhurst<\/strong>
\nThis was a split a few weeks ago, and figures to be again. Mercyhurst 2-1, Syracuse 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT at Penn State<\/strong>
\nMy picks record would be even better if I didn’t try to pick CHA games. RIT 2-1, Penn State 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lindenwood at Robert Morris<\/strong>
\nI thought the Colonials were getting better, but league play has been a killer. Robert Morris 3-2, Lindenwood 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown versus Yale<\/strong>
\nA tough one to call, but I see the Bulldogs winning both. Yale 3-1, 2-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota at Bemidji State<\/strong>
\nHome ice for the Beavers means closer games, but same results. Minnesota 3-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State at Minnesota-Duluth<\/strong>
\nWith these teams, you could flip coins and get better results. Minnesota-Duluth 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota State at North Dakota<\/strong>
\nOne game will be close, but I see a NoDak sweep. North Dakota 3-2, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Lawrence at Clarkson<\/strong>
\nGiven how the Golden Knights did earlier tonight, I have a hard time seeing this turning out differently. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nThe Bobcats will get back on track, or continue a win streak if they beat Harvard Friday. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Harvard<\/strong>
\nThe Tigers won a clash with the Crimson earlier in the year, so why not again? Princeton 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nThis game was a lot easier to pick last year. Cornell 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Union<\/strong>
\nThe Raiders should keep pace in the ECAC races. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack at Boston University<\/strong>
\nThe Terriers get some momentum for the Beanpot. Boston University 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 30-31<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Providence<\/strong>
\nMaybe the Black Bears get back in the win column, but it’s not a safe bet. Providence 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecticut at Vermont<\/strong>
\nThis is likely a split, but I’ll go out on a limb. Connecticut 2-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Cloud State at Wisconsin<\/strong>
\nThe Huskies are playing much better than expected, but not good enough to defeat the Badgers. Wisconsin 4-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Feb. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard versus Boston College<\/strong>
\nThis is where BC’s streak ended last year, so I think the Eagles will be extra focused. Boston College 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Boston University<\/strong>
\nThe Terriers have fallen off and Northeastern is better. Northeastern 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
