I had a pretty good week last week, going 24-7-2 (.757). On the year, I am now 309-88-46 (.749). It’s hard to believe there are only three weeks left in the regular season. Let’s see how we do this week.<\/p>\n

Friday, Feb. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at Clarkson<\/strong>
\nThe Golden Knights can be mercurial, but I like them on home ice. Clarkson 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Colgate<\/strong>
\nA huge game in the home ice playoff race in the ECAC. Colgate gets revenge. Colgate 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Cornell<\/strong>
\nI don’t think the Big Red are strong enough to stop the Bobcats. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yale at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nI’m beginning to wonder if Dartmouth will win again this season. Yale 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown at Harvard<\/strong>
\nThe Crimson should regroup after the Beanpot disaster. Harvard 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union at St. Lawrence<\/strong>
\nThe Saints are usually good enough to beat those below them in the standings. St. Lawrence 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Feb. 5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT at Lindenwood<\/strong>
\nI think the Tigers will likely sneak one here, but I though that last week against Penn State too. Lindenwood 2-1, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse at Penn State<\/strong>
\nThe Nittany Lions are getting better down the stretch, but the Orange pick up needed points. Syracuse 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercyhurst at Robert Morris<\/strong>
\nI thought the Colonials would win against the Lakers the first time they met, and that didn’t work out too well. Mercyhurst 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nThe Catamounts have been too inconsistent for me to pick them. New Hampshire 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota-Duluth at Minnesota State<\/strong>
\nI’m picking the Mavericks to get their first conference win. Minnesota State 2-1, Minnesota-Duluth 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisconsin at Ohio State<\/strong>
\nThe Buckeyes got a surprise win last weekend against Minnesota-Duluth, but the Badgers are in a different category. Wisconsin 4-1, 5-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Dakota at Minnesota<\/strong>
\nJust based on what happened when North Dakota had its rematch against Wisconsin, I think the Gophers get a sweep, especially with the boost of Amanda Kessel’s return. Minnesota 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Feb. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union at Clarkson<\/strong>
\nThe Golden Knights tighten their hold on second place. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Colgate<\/strong>
\nOne of the harder games to pick. Colgate can trouble the Bobcats, but I think the superior Quinnipiac defense wins the game. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at Cornell<\/strong>
\nAnother game I’m not too sure about. I think the visitors get one win on their road trip. Princeton 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nLet’s call the Big Green to finally get a win again. Dartmouth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yale at Harvard<\/strong>
\nA potential trap game for the Crimson, but I see them dodging a bullet. Harvard 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at St. Lawrence<\/strong>
\nThis is the type of game the Saints should win, but might not. Rensselaer 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Providence<\/strong>
\nThe Huskies take care of business before their two huge games against Boston College. Northeastern 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at Connecticut<\/strong>
\nThe Huskies have a solid defense, but as long as the Eagles aren’t looking ahead to Tuesday’s game against the other Huskies, they should prevail. Boston College 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday-Sunday, Feb. 6-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack at Maine<\/strong>
\nA loss for the Black Bears would be bad. I think the Warriors will steal one. Maine 3-2, Merrimack 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, Feb. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence at Connecticut<\/strong>
\nThe Huskies solidify home ice in the Hockey East playoffs. Connecticut 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Feb. 9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard at Boston University<\/strong>
\nIf the Terriers can play like they did against Northeastern, I think they win. Boston University 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College versus Northeastern<\/strong>
\nThis should be a barn-burner of a game. Let’s call BC to win a Beanpot for Alex Carpenter. Boston College 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
