I’m thinking split with the Lakers getting the win on Friday. Mercyhurst 3, Bentley 2; Bentley 3, Mercyhurst 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, Nov. 18 and Sunday, Nov. 19<\/strong> Tuesday. Nov. 22<\/strong> Niagara at Cornell<\/strong> – The Big Red have already lost to an AHA team on home ice this season (Mercyhurst beat them 5-4 on Oct. 29) so they won’t be taking the Purple Eagles lightly. Cornell 5, Niagara 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yale at Sacred Heart<\/strong> – This is the first of eight games this season that the Pioneers will play at the Webster Bank Pavillion in Bridgeport. It might give them a lift, but not enough to beat the Bulldogs.

\nOn the Season:<\/strong> 48-22-6 (.654)<\/p>\n
\nArmy at American International<\/strong> – Both teams are having trouble scoring goals, so this one is a tossup. I’m going with the Yellow Jackets at home. AIC 2, Army 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nConnecticut at Yale<\/strong> – The Huskies are coming off an eight-goal outburst against Sacred Heart, but I think they’ll struggle against No. 9 Yale. Yale 5, UConn 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHoly Cross at Rochester Institute of Technology<\/strong> – The Tigers have owned Holy Cross since both teams moved to Division I, with RIT holding a 16-1-2 advantage. But this Crusader team is sporting the best offense and power play in the conference, and should win at least one of the two games. RIT 4, Holy Cross 3; Holy Cross 4, RIT 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nLake Superior State at Canisius – This is a rare occurrence with a ranked team coming into an AHA barn. No. 12 LSSU is the highest ranked team to play at Canisius since the Griffs hosted No. 3 UNH back in 2003 at the then-HBSC Arena. While a win by Canisius wouldn’t surprise me, I think LSSU prevails twice. LSSU 4, Canisius 2; LSSU 3, Canisius 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nAIC at Brown<\/strong> – This should be another win by Brown over an AHA team. Brown 4, AIC 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n
