It appears UNO coach Dean Blais could be leaning that way. One wouldn’t expect … Read more

OMAHA, Neb. — In a game where every goal came with one team on a power play and the other not, Nebraska-Omaha’s special teams units came up trumps Saturday night.

OMAHA, Neb. — With several goals coming mere moments apart Saturday at CenturyLink Center, the game between Nebraska-Omaha and No. 2 Michigan always felt like a last-goal-wins sort of affair.

To find out what a performance from a hockey team’s captain should look like, one needn’t look much further than the game film from last weekend’s series between No. 11 North Dakota and Nebraska-Omaha.

Heading into the 2013-14 season, a quick look at Nebraska-Omaha’s first seven games made it seem as though that slate could serve as a springboard to help the Mavericks jump into NCHC play in November with some momentum on their side.
