Last weekend, the Minutemen split a home-and-home with New Hampshire. They shut the Wildcats out Friday night in a 3-0 win before falling in overtime 2-1 on Saturday.

There will be another top goalie on the other side, in UMass Lowell senior Owen Savory. In nine starts this year, Savory is allowing just 1.1 goals per game, which is the best in the Hockey East. His 95.4 save percentage also leads the conference.
Savory picked up his third shutout of the year last Saturday in a 2-0 shutout of Maine, the River Hawks' lone game of the weekend. He made 29 saves in that game.
That win improved UMass Lowell's record to 8-2-2 on the season, and 6-1 in conference. They enter the week ranked 15th in the USCHO poll.
