Despite the holiday, there\u2019s plenty of ECAC Hockey games set for this weekend. All games start at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n<p>Records<\/p>\n<p>Nate<\/p>\n<p>Last week: 9-2-1<\/p>\n<p>Overall: \u00a051-29-7<\/p>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n<p>Last week: 9-2-1<\/p>\n<p>Overall: 48-32-6<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Nov. 29<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Princeton vs. Colgate (Friendship Four Tournament) 2 p.m. EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Colgate is coming off a three-point weekend, including a 2-2 tie against Princeton, while the Tigers haven\u2019t won in nearly a month. Colgate 2-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark:\u00a0 The arrow is pointing up for the Raiders. It\u2019s pointing down for the Tigers, who are 0-4-3 in their last seven. Colgate 3-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rensselaer at UMass Lowell, 4:05 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Engineers have been good offensively this season, but will face a tough test in the River Hawks, who have been stingy defensively. UMass Lowell 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Tyler Wall and his .944 save percentage give the River Hawks the edge. UMass Lowell 4-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boston College at Harvard, 4:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:\u00a0 Both teams have won six games in a row, but Harvard has a slight edge playing at home. Harvard 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Eagles have won six in a row. Harvard hasn\u2019t lost. Harvard 3-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Massachusetts at Quinnipiac, 7:30 p.m. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: \u00a0Massachusetts has been fairly consistent this season, while Quinnipiac has not. Massachusetts 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Bobcats have been up and down. Home ice gives them the edge here. Quinnipiac 3-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maine at St. Lawrence <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: \u00a0St. Lawrence is 0-4 at home this season. They\u2019ll end that streak Friday against Maine. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: \u00a0This two-gamer feels like a split. Saints take the first one. St.Lawrence 3-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Nov. 30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brown at Providence <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Bears have scored one or fewer goals in four of their last five games, which is bad news against a Providence team that is averaging just over four goals per game. Providence 5-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Bears will be looking to rebound from loss at Bentley. Schneider Arena\u2019s not the place to do it. Providence \u00a05-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rensselaer at Merrimack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: \u00a0After a tough matchup against UMass Lowell Friday, RPI should have an easier go of it against a Merrimack team that is allowing more than three goals a game. Rensselaer 5-3<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Both teams are struggling. Merrimack 6-4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colgate vs. New Hampshire\/Northeastern (Friendship Four Championship) 2 p.m. EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Assuming Colgate wins Friday, the Raiders will face either New Hampshire or Northeastern. \u00a0I don\u2019t think the Raiders have enough offensive depth to keep up with either team. Northeastern\/New Hampshire 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Union won the Friendship Four last year. The title goes to Hockey East this time. Northeastern\/New Hampshire 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Princeton vs. New Hampshire\/Northeastern \u00a0(Friendship Four third place game) 11 a.m. EDT <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Again, I\u2019m making this pick assuming Colgate wins Friday. But like Colgate, I\u2019m not sure the Tigers will have the depth to match up with the Wildcats or the Huskies. \u00a0Northeastern\/New Hampshire 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinnipiac at Massachusetts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Minutemen haven\u2019t lost at home this season. Massachusetts 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Back on home ice, the Minutemen gain a split. Massachusetts 6-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maine at St. Lawrence <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:\u00a0 Maine rebounds for a win after Friday\u2019s loss. Maine 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Jeremy Swayman and the Black Bears go home with a split. Maine 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cornell vs. Boston University, (Red Hot Hockey) 8 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Undefeated Cornell is off to the program\u2019s best start in 48 years. Cornell 4-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: BU\u2019s staggering after home loss to Sacred Heart. The Big Red juggernaut stays unbeaten. Cornell 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, Dec. 3 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Boston University <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Crimson haven\u2019t lost all season and I don\u2019t see it happening against a BU team that is below .500 this season. \u00a0Harvard 5-3<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The pain continues for the Terriers.
