With late goal by Marody, Michigan’s top line outperforms Northeastern’s vaunted trio
WORCESTER, Mass. — All week long, the Michigan top line heard about Northeastern’s devastating first line of Adam Gaudette, Dylan Sikura and Nolan Stevens.

Northeastern, a team with a first line that had scored 75 goals this season, would get its Hockey East semifinal game-winner from a freshman, Austin Goldstein, scoring his first collegiate goal. A fairy tale ending. Feature story gold. Providence, however, had another idea in mind. A … Read more
This Week in Hockey East: Top four regular-season teams heading to TD Garden
The four teams left standing — Boston College, Northeastern, Providence and Boston University — are the top four teams from the regular season. In many ways, there’s little separating them from each other, which should make for an awesome weekend of hockey at the TD Garden (photo: Melissa Wade).
Hockey East sweeps across the board
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. The favorites all swept. The favorites didn’t just win, they swept. Top-seeded Boston College defeated tenth-seeded Merrimack, 1-0 and 4-3 (OT). No. 2 Northeastern took care of business against No. 8 Massachusetts, 3-2 and 7-2. No. 3 Providence edged Maine, 4-3 and 3-2. … Read more

This Week in Hockey East: Connecticut making case for top-five finish in conference standings
Much of the attention has gone to the race for the Hockey East regular season title, and deservedly so, but there’s also the race for one of the top five spots in the standings and its attendant first-round bye. Connecticut has put itself firmly in that race (photo: Melissa Wade).
Separation at the top of Hockey East
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. Boston College remains in the driver’s seat.
