This is one giant weekend for Hockey East. Right now, the Eagles are ahead of MC and BU by five points but the Warriors are home vs UVM tonight so that lead could be down to three points heading into the weekend. There are some big games on the slate for this weekend. Lets take a look at the top four biggest contest before we head off for Christmas break.
BC @ Lowell- I really like the way BC is playing as of late since they finally seem like they have a goalie they can really rely on and they have a lineup from top to bottom that is really looking good right now. I think that if the third and fourth lines can keep up their spectacular play BC will be hard to beat. Lowell on the other hand is looking to prove to everyone that they are not just home ice contenders but they are league championship contenders. I think BC will win but Lowell is going to be flying.
BU @ Maine (Sat)- Another huge matchup with some big points at stake. Maine is riding high on a three game win streak and also have the #1 PP in Hockey East and are going against a Terrier team that is still recovering from Saturday night. The key in this series is goaltending. Whichever goalie plays better is what team is going to win. I like Maine
Lowell @ NU (Sat)- NU is coming off a huge sweep @ Notre Dame while the Riverhawks are also playing great hockey as of late. This is going to be a very interesting matchup of teams that are really starting to show they belong with the BC's and BU's of Hockey East. I like NU
BU @ UNH (Thurs)- BU won the first two meetings between these two by a wide margin but I think it will be interesting to see how UNH responds after being swept by Lowell. Both teams have good goaltenders that are struggling as of late so it should be interesting to see what goalie brings his game. I really hate to say it but I think BU will win. But Go Wildcats
I will have my preview for Lowell tomorrow.
