Here\u2019s a look at what\u2019s set for the weekend. All games start at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n<p>Nate<\/p>\n<p>Last week: 7-4-1<\/p>\n<p>Overall: 93-47-16<\/p>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n<p>Last week: 7-4-1<\/p>\n<p>Overall: \u00a090-50-16<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Jan.24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Colgate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Both teams have struggled lately, but Harvard is deeper offensively. Harvard 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Crimson will be gunning for payback after losing to the Raiders at home last month. Harvard 5-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at Cornell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Dartmouth is red hot and is the only team to beat Cornell this season, but a win at Lynah Rink might be tough to come by. Cornell 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Big Green are the only team to beat the Big Red, who are very tough at home. Cornell 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arizona State at Clarkson, 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Nate:Arizona State is in position for a second straight at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, but the Golden Knights have been on a roll since November. Clarkson 4-3, Clarkson 5-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Sun Devils need these games more than the Golden Knights do. Look for a split. Clarkson 6-3. Arizona State 4-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Jan.25<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinnipiac vs. UConn (Connecticut Ice), 4 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: \u00a0Quinnipiac has won seven of its last eight games this season and is on a four-game winning streak in the series with the Huskies.<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Bobcats are on a 7-1 run. The Huskies are coming off two big Hockey East wins. Quinnipiac 5-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Union vs. Rensselaer (Mayor\u2019s Cup), 6 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:RPI has improved defensively over the last few weeks, which doesn\u2019t bode well for a Union team that has struggled to generate offense for much of the season. Rensselaer 3-1<strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Dutchmen and Engineers played to a 0-0 deadlock in their non-conference meeting last season. For the sake of the fans, here\u2019s hoping there\u2019s more offense this time. Rensselaer 4-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at Colgate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Colgate has been tough defensively, but the Big Green should be able to head home with a road split. Dartmouth 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Raiders routed the Big Green on the road last month. Not this time. Dartmouth 3-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Cornell <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Cornell played well against Harvard on the road when these teams played in December, and that shouldn\u2019t change in the friendly confines of their home venue. Cornell 5-3<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Big Red overwhelmed the Crimson in the first 10 minutes the last time these teams met. Cornell 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale at Sacred Heart (Connecticut Ice), 7:30 p.m. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:The Bulldogs have been playing well lately and are 6-1 all-time against the Pioneers. Yale 4-3<\/p>\n<p>Mark: A win here would be a big step forward for the Pioneers. Sacred Heart 3-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, Jan.26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale vs. Quinnipiac (Connecticut Ice) \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Mark and I differ here, as I\u2019m predicting the Bulldogs and Bobcats to advance to the Connecticut Ice final. Both have been playing well, but I think Quinnipiac has a little more scoring depth. Quinnipiac 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinnipiac vs. Sacred Heart, 3:30 p.m. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>College hockey in Connecticut has come a looooong way since these two schools were facing off as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Quinnipiac 4-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale vs. UConn, 7 p.m. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connecticut wins the game no one wants to play in.
