Quinnipiac is the ECAC Hockey regular season champions for the fifth time in nine seasons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last time: 3-1<\/p>\n

Overall: 18-21-7<\/p>\n

Half of the teams in ECAC Hockey saw their regular seasons come to an abrupt end Thursday, as St. Lawrence announced it was pausing all team activities due to COVID-19 protocols. That means the Saints four remaining games, all against Clarkson, were cancelled and will not be made up before the start of the conference tournament on March 18.<\/p>\n

That leaves two teams \u2013 Quinnipiac and Colgate \u2013 to finish out the regular season this weekend. Clarkson had a chance to surpass Quinnipiac for the Cleary Cup, but the Saints\u2019 cancellation means that the Bobcats will finish the abbreviated regular season as league champions. It\u2019s a blow for the Golden Knights, who could have used those remaining games to bolster their NCAA Tournament hopes.<\/p>\n

Colgate is currently is fourth place by points percentage; third-place St. Lawrence has fewer points, but has also played fewer games than the Raiders.<\/p>\n

Here are my picks for the Colgate at Quinnipiac games this weekend. Friday\u2019s game starts at 6 p.m., while Saturday\u2019s game is at 4 p.m. \u00a0I\u2019m going with a Bobcats sweep; Quinnipiac is riding a seven-game unbeaten streak, while Colgate is winless over its last five games.<\/p>\n

Friday: Quinnipiac 3, Colgate 1<\/p>\n

Saturday: Quinnipiac: 4. Colgate 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
