Last Week:<\/strong> 6-3-3 This Week’s Picks:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Atlantic Hockey Playoffs: First Round<\/strong> No. 9 Canisius at No. 8 Connecticut<\/strong> – The Huskies swept the Golden Griffins in Buffalo earlier in the season. Neither team has been playing well with just three wins between them in the month of February. I think UConn’s power play will be the difference. UConn in three.<\/strong><\/p>\n No. 10 American International at No. 7 Robert Morris<\/strong> – The teams split this season but RMU leads the all-time series 6-1-1. The Colonials made a quick exit from last year’s playoffs and that should be enough motivation to get through this round. Robert Morris in two.<\/strong><\/p>\n No. 11 Sacred Heart at No. 6 Bentley<\/strong> – The Pioneers have been playing much better as if late but are still allowing too many goals to advance, especially against a Bentley offense that features one of the top lines in the league. Bentley in two.<\/strong><\/p>\n No. 12 Army at No. 5 Holy Cross<\/strong> – Despite missing out on a first-round bye, Holy Cross is a legitimate threat to go all the way, and I think it starts here with a sweep. The Crusaders took all three games from the Black Knights during the regular season.
