\nMercyhurst at American International<\/strong>
\nChris:<\/strong> This is a battle between first place and last place teams, but this is Atlantic Hockey, so anything can happen. That said, I’m picking the Yellow Jackets at home. AIC sweeps.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>AIC is making its move at exactly the right time, and even though the league brags about parity, this is a weekend where the Yellow Jackets have to expect to do their job, hold serve, earn six points, and move along. In true AHA fashion, I look forward to seeing Mercyhurst win a shootout or two.\u00a0AIC sweeps.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChris:<\/strong> Both teams are coming off weekends that saw them on the wrong end of a sweep. I think it will be the Black Knights that get back on track first. Army West Point sweeps.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>Canisius’ losses last weekend left the Golden Griffins susceptible to Niagara heading into this weekend. Dropping back to 10th and four points back, I think they have to hit the gas pedal this weekend in order to keep pressure on the Purple Eagles. Army, meanwhile, is exactly where I thought it would be, not quite on pace with the top one or two teams but also not yet in danger of falling back to the first round.\u00a0Split this series.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChris:<\/strong> The teams split in Bridgeport earlier in the season, and even though the Pioneers are rolling right now, it’s tough to beat the Falcons twice in the Springs. Split.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>I refuse to bet against Sacred Heart the rest of the way, even in the altitude. If the #Rubinjinx happens, I apologize.\u00a0Sacred Heart sweeps.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChris:<\/strong> Niagara is coming off an impressive sweep of Army West Point that ended a nine game winless streak. Bentley’s sweep of Mercyhurst last weekend ended a five game drought for the Falcons. I’m picking each team to win one here. Split.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>Bentley’s offense got over that hump last week and piled up goals against Mercyhurst. Now it hosts a Niagara team in a huge series involving the home playoff slot. Six points either way could push both teams back into the hunt for a bye.\u00a0Split.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChris:<\/strong> The Tigers took four of six points in Rochester earlier in the season, and I think something similar will happen here. Split.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>Remember when I said we weren’t talking about RIT enough? Yeah. Egg’s on my face.\u00a0RIT sweeps.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChris:<\/strong> As is the case for ASU for the remainder of the season, every game is crucial to the Sun Devils’ at large chances. I think they take care of business at home. Arizona State sweeps.<\/strong>
\nDan:\u00a0<\/strong>Arizona State 20-4-2 at home dating back to last season. Given the travel and the time change, it’s very hard to win in the desert. Also shoutout the Waste Management Open this weekend; hopefully Oceanside sounds like the 16th hole at Scottsdale. Arizona State sweeps.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
