Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look at the games of January 31 and February 1 in college hockey.

In the NCHC, Minnesota Duluth swept Denver to keep pace with North Dakota. Notre Dame picked up a big five points on the road against Penn State as only one point separates the top five in the Big Ten. Bemidji State stays on a roll sweeping Bowling Green.

In Hockey East, Maine’s sweep of Merrimack puts the Black Bears in the hunt for the league’s regular season title, with only three points separating first from eighth in the standings.
