\n<\/span>*All games are subject to change.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nMercyhurst at Rochester Institute of Technology<\/b>
\nDan:<\/b> I expect RIT to come out with a house of fire after missing the last three to four weeks or so. That type of energy should clear one hurdle in the first game, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in the second game. Split<\/b>.
\nChris:<\/b> The Lakers have won in four in a row while the Tigers haven’t played in 26 days. I’m going with the hot hand. Mercyhurst wins.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nSacred Heart vs. Army West Point<\/b>
\nDan:<\/b> The flip side to a team’s return is what happened to Sacred Heart on Tuesday. The Pioneers ran into a buzzsaw, and AIC, a team playing consistently every week, just kept rolling with its snowman offensive result. I think Sacred Heart will come to play this one with a lot of energy and heart (pardon the pun), and I think it’s good enough to get one. Split<\/strong>.
\nChris:<\/b> The Black Knights host on Friday; the Pioneers on Saturday. SHU got manhandled 8-2 by American International on Tuesday, while the Black Knights are coming off an impressive road sweep at Holy Cross. Momentum favors AWP, but I’m picking a split.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDan:<\/b> I don’t think anyone is beating AIC these days. That team is on a mission for an NCAA at-large bid, and it deserves strong recognition right now. AIC sweeps<\/b>.
\nChris:<\/b> This is another home-and-home series. No matter the location, it’s tough to pick against the Yellow Jackets, who have won six of their last seven. AIC sweeps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCanisius vs. RIT<\/b>
\nDan:<\/b> This would have been a coin flip if the two teams hadn’t gone on hiatus, but I think it’s even moreso now. Can I pick splits in three-game series? No? Well fine. Canisius takes two out of three<\/b>.
\nChris:<\/b> It’s a mad scramble to get in as many games as possible in the final weeks of the season, so the I-90 rivals will play three times in four days with the Tigers hosting on Saturday and the Golden Griffins on Sunday and Tuesday. I like the Tigers to win two of three.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMercyhurst at Robert Morris<\/b>
\nDan:<\/b> See above and substitute RMU for AIC. I don’t see the Colonials stopping any time soon, but this is a great series litmus test for them. RMU wins<\/b>.
\nChris:\u00a0<\/b>The Lakers swept the Colonials last week in Erie, but I think the result will be different on Saturday in Moon Township. RMU wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAir Force at Bentley<\/b>
\nDan:<\/b> Air Force’s struggles this year are multifold and not an indication of the team’s performance. I think it comes out of its unfortunate break ready to play, and the trip east will provide them with a much needed burst of energy. That said, Bentley looked REALLY good on Tuesday. I don’t think AIr Force wins a game, but the two games will be great college hockey contests. Either way, I’m taking the Falcons (sorry, the annual joke). Bentley sweeps<\/b>.
\nChris:\u00a0<\/b>The teams have played a combined one game in the past three weeks. Air Force is still looking for its first win of the season and I have a feeling it will happen here. Split.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
