No. 12 Northeastern vs Vermont (Sat. and Sun. at Vermont)<\/strong><\/p>\n Northeastern battled to a tie last weekend against Providence before dropping a 5-0 loss against a Friars team that found its groove. The Huskies are still without some of their best talent in Edmonton, but Vermont is yet to get a footing on the season. Could be another tough week for the Catamounts.<\/p>\n Jim’s picks: NU 4, UVM 1; NU 3, UVM 2<\/em> Providence at UConn (Mon. at UConn)<\/strong><\/p>\n Even without some of their key pieces — including behind the bench — Providence responded nicely to their bad season-opening defeats to Boston College. UConn, meanwhile, has had an absolute gauntlet to start the year between the Eagles and UMass, with just a win over BC and a tie with the Minutemen. They’re looking forward to a less rigorous schedule for certain, but it might be bad luck the Huskies have to deal with a Providence team finding its identity.<\/p>\n Jim’s picks: PC 3, UConn 2<\/em> Another week another whole bunch of cancellations, but there is some post-Christmas hockey to be had with a series and a single this weekend.
