\"\"More teams are going to be in the playoffs across most of the conferences which means the balance of the remaining schedule is more interesting for everyone looking to make a move in the standings either just for position or for home-ice position or a bye. Final week of the regular season for NEHC teams while other conferences still looking at two or more to finish out the full schedule where possible. Last week I stumbled in at 8-5-0 (.615) which shows a downward trend from recent picks. The overall numbers of 74-42-7 (.630) are good but still not great. Lots of great action with a lot on the line for many of the games below. Here are this week\u2019s picks:<\/p>\n

Thursday, February 10, 2022<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Worcester State v. Framingham State<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rams celebrated a nice comeback win over Massachusetts-Dartmouth last week so teams can\u2019t just show up and expect a win. The visitors definitely won\u2019t be taking a win or the points for granted \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Worcester State, 5-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, February 11, 2022<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Suffolk v. University of New England (11)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Suffolk has played everyone tough in the second half and has picked up points to move into fifth in the conference. Home team battling for the top seed and won\u2019t be surprised by Cal Wilcox and company \u2013 UNE, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elmira (7) v. Norwich (13)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the final weekend in the regular season so these games will matter for seeding with six teams in a dogfight at the top. Cadets better with Drennen Atherton in goal and it shows here \u2013 Norwich, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colby (14) v. Wesleyan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cardinals have been playing their best hockey of late with everyone chipping in. Colby has been great all year especially in the close ones but this one goes to the home team \u2013 Wesleyan, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rivier v. Canton<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Would not want to be a goaltender for either team in this one as this should be a track meet with some talented players looking for some highlight reel goals. More video for the home team \u2013 \u00a0Canton, 6-5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plattsburgh v. Potsdam<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It took a while, but the Bears have found their scoring touch and some success in recent games. Stepping up the competition against the Cardinals who need OT to capture the win \u2013 \u00a0Plattsburgh, 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neumann v. Manhattanville<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Knights have played four one-goal games in their last five contests and expect this one to be the fifth. Lost three of those four but find a way to hold on for a big win here \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0Neumann, 5-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, February 12, 2022<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Utica (2) v. Wilkes (9) <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pioneers have a 12-game win streak going and want to send a message tot eh other competitors in the UCHC. Winning on the road against the high-flying Colonels is a big message \u2013 Utica, 6-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brockport v. Fredonia<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Golden Eagles have played some very good hockey this season but want to get some momentum heading into the playoffs. A nice road win helps build the confidence \u2013 Brockport, 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Middlebury v. Williams<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ephs have struggled a bit in the second half especially scoring goals. The first contest with the Panthers went their way, 3-2. Look for another one-goal win and season sweep over the Panthers \u2013 Williams, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

University of New England (11) v. Curry\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Colonels need this one to inch closer to UNE and Salve Regina above them in the CCC. Only lost once on home-ice this season and the Nor\u2019easters come close but can\u2019t bear Reid Cooper and company \u2013 \u00a0Curry, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts-Boston v. Skidmore<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sssssh \u2013 very quietly the Beacons have played some great hockey and goaltender Sam Best has a lot to do with that streak of good play. Expect this one to be low scoring and with special teams factoring into the Beacons\u2019 win \u2013 UMB, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anna Maria v. Fitchburg State<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Falcons have played great in the second half and won\u2019t look past a gritty AMC team in a non-conference game that can help fine-tune their playoff game readiness. Too much upfront talent for the Falcons \u2013 FSU, 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assumption v. Southern New Hampshire<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Penmen do not want to be coasting into the playoffs and showed a lot of character in bouncing back from a 9-1 loss to beat split a series with St. Michael\u2019s last week. This one should be for the weekend sweep \u00a0\u2013 SNHU, 5-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lots of excitement and scoreboard watching to see which team can help your team\u2019s cause in the standings. Won\u2019t matter much if your team isn\u2019t taking care of its own business. Control what you can control \u00a0– \u201cDrop the Puck!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
