Yet again, COVID is making a bit of a mess of the Hockey East schedules. After just two men’s games were played last weekend, the league is expected to play just three this weekend.<\/p>\n
Jim last week: 1-0-1 (similar to goaltender’s stats, we’ll be counting shootouts as ties in our head-to-head standings)

Boston College vs. UMass (at BC, Fri.; at UMass Sat.)<\/strong> It’s difficult to think of a sweep this early in the season, and though UMass should be hungry after a tie against UConn last Saturday, this highly touted Boston College team deserves all the accolades as they finally kick off their seasons. Will the Eagles prove they are worthy of a preseason top ranking by Hockey East coaches?<\/p>\n Jim’s picks: BC 3, UMass 2; BC 4, UMass 3<\/em> Providence at UMass Lowell<\/strong> With neither team having an opponent because of COVID postponements this weekend, the two will square off in their respective openers. Lowell returns arguably a top tier crop of forwards and defensemen but very little experience in net. Providence also has a question between the pipes but also has one of the league’s best forwards in Tage Thompson.<\/p>\n Jim’s pick: UML 3, PC 2<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yet again, COVID is making a bit of a mess of the Hockey East schedules.
