Boston College had some trouble on Friday night only getting a 2-1 victory over Merrimack, but came out flying on Saturday at Merrimack as the Eagles shutout the Warriors 5-0. BC stands alone the top of Hockey East with a 6 point lead over Providence and New Hampshire.
Minnesota and North Dakota split this weekend at Marruci Arena in Minneapolis. Minnesota won 6-1 on Friday with two goals from Alex Goligoski. North Dakota bounced back with a 4-2 victory on Saturday night. Goaltender Philippe Lamoureux played much better in net stopping 41 of 43 Minnesota shots. This was a much needed split for North Dakota.
Orignally thinking that Minnesota-Duluth was on the way up, they went back down again gettin swept by Michigan Tech in their own building. The schedule only gets tougher for Duluth as they still have to face Colorado College, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in conference.
In an exciting 2 game series, Boston University and Maine gave us plenty to watch. Boston University however gained a key sweep of Maine with Kenny Roche playing a key role as he scored the game winning goal on Friday night in the 3-2 Terrier victory, and also scored a power play goal on Saturday as BU won 5-4. Roche had 2 goals and an assist in the series.
And St. Lawrence jumped to first place in the ECACHL as the Saints defeated Rensellear 4-3 and Union 3-0 both on the road.

A huge series will take place in Chestnut Hill as Boston College will host Vermont for 2. Will BC gain some cushion this week in the standings, or will Vermont continue to gain some national recognition.
Colorado College will travel to Minnesota for a key 2 game series in the WCHA. Can Colorado College's offense bounce back after a 3 goal series at home against Wisconsin? Or will Minnesota continue their success at home.
Providence and Maine will play each other at Oreno as both teams will look to bounce back after their losses this weekend, Providence to UMASS-Lowell, and Maine bein swept by Boston University.
