Last time: 10-3-0<\/p>\n

Overall: 27-8-3<\/p>\n

While most teams are on break, Princeton and Union cap off their first half of the season this weekend. The Tigers host Minnesota State Mavericks for a pair of games Friday and Saturday night at 7 p.m. The Dutchmen travel to Vermont to take on the Catamounts Saturday night at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m.
\n
\nMinnesota State vs. Princeton<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tigers come into the weekend as one of the hottest teams in the country. After winning their first five games of the season, the Mavericks are 5-6-2. This series is a pick’em series, but I will go with Princeton Friday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, I think the Mavericks come out firing. They have out shot their opponents 205-133 this season. I believe Minnesota State earns a split in the second game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union vs. Vermont<\/strong><\/p>\n

This should be a fun series between two teams that certainly have been surprises this season. It should be a battle of offense vs. defense. Union is averaging four goals per game while Vermont is only allowing 2.25 goals per game. I think the Dutchmen take advantage of a much quieter Gutterson Fieldhouse with the students gone Saturday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday games are also tricky but with it being the second game in 24 hours I expect it to be a low scoring affair the second time around. Vermont who has been getting stellar goaltending all year avoids the sweep.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
