Mark<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week: \u00a07-4-1<\/p>\n

Overall: \u00a07-7-1<\/p>\n

Nate <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week: 8-3-1<\/p>\n

Overall: 8-6-1<\/p>\n

Mark and I did a little better last week after a rough opening week. Here are the games scheduled for this weekend. All start at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n

Friday, Oct. 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: The Golden Knights are coming off an impressive opening weekend at Michigan, while this is the first game of the season for the Catamounts. \u00a0That earlier start should prove beneficial for Clarkson, a team that was 15-3-1 at home last season. Clarkson 3-1<\/p>\n

Mark: This should be a good goalie matchup between Vermont\u2019s Stefanos Lekkas and Clarkson\u2019s Frank Marotte. The Golden Knights have two games under their belts, while this will be Vermont\u2019s opener. Advantage Clarkson. Clarkson 3-1<\/p>\n

Maine at Quinnipiac (Friday, Saturday)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: Maine swept Alaska Anchorage at home last weekend, but was pummeled 7-0 by Providence in its season opener. Quinnipiac is closer to Providence than Alaska Anchorage in terms of talent, so the Bobcats should be able to get the home sweep to move to 4-0 this season. Friday: Quinnipiac 5-1; Saturday: Quinnipiac 6-3<\/p>\n

Mark: Maine rebounded from its season-opening debacle in Providence by sweeping Alaska. Quinnipiac is coming off a pair of one-goal wins over AIC. Feels like a split. Friday: Quinnipiac 3-1; Saturday: Maine 4-2<\/p>\n

UConn at Rensselaer <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: These teams played last weekend in Hartford, with RPI beating UConn for the second time in as many trips to the XL Center. \u00a0The Engineers seem to have the Huskies number of late, so I\u2019m sticking with the hot hand in this matchup. Rensselaer 4-2<\/p>\n

Mark: The Engineers beat the Huskies in Hartford last weekend. UConn returns the favor in RPI\u2019s home opener. UConn 4-2<\/p>\n

Providence at St. Lawrence (at SUNY Canton)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: The Saints will likely see a familiar face in the Providence goal with Harvard transfer Michael Lackey having started the first two games of the season for the Friars.\u00a0 He\u2019s posted a .946 save percentage in a 1-1 start for Providence, who still has a lot of talent despite some notable losses in the offseason. Providence 3-2<\/p>\n

Mark: After a bumpy weekend last week, the Friars pull one out on the road. Providence 3-1<\/p>\n

Union at Massachusetts (Friday, Saturday) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: It\u2019s been a tough start for Union. The Dutchmen have given up twice as many goals as they\u2019ve scored and have taken 24 penalties in four games. \u00a0That\u2019s not a good combination for success against last year\u2019s national runner up.\u00a0 Friday: Massachusetts 5-2; Saturday: Massachusetts 4-2<\/p>\n

Mark: Not much has gone right so far for the Dutchmen, but they manage a split in Amherst. Friday: Massachusetts 6-2: Saturday: Union 3-2<\/p>\n

Colgate at Massachusetts Lowell (7:15 p.m. Friday, 6 p.m.\u00a0 Saturday)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: Goalie Mitch Benson and the Colgate defense should keep the Raiders in each of these games, but I\u2019m not sure if Colgate can generate enough offense to come home with a win. Friday: Massachusetts Lowell 3-2; Saturday: Massachusetts Lowell 4-1<\/p>\n

Mark: The Raiders have scored two goals in three games while giving up nine. Their struggles continue against the stingy Riverhawks. Friday: Massachusetts Lowell 5-1; Saturday: Massachusetts Lowell 4-1<\/p>\n

Saturday, Oct. 19 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Canisius at Rensselaer\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: It\u2019s been a rough start for the Golden Griffins, who were outscored a combined 13-1 last weekend at North Dakota.\u00a0 The Engineers aren\u2019t as a formidable opponent, but this is a winnable home game for RPI given Canisius\u2019 start to the season. Rensselaer 4-1\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark: The Golden Griffins were routed at North Dakota last weekend. While the Engineers are not the Fighting Hawks, expect Canisius\u2019 road woes to continue. Rensselaer 4-0<\/p>\n

Vermont at St. Lawrence (at SUNY Canton) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: St. Lawrence rebounded to split its opening series last weekend at Mercyhurst, and I think it will do that again this weekend against a Vermont team that struggled to score last season. St. Lawrence 2-1<\/p>\n

Mark: This is a good night for the Catamounts to pick up their first \u201cW\u201d of the season. Vermont 3-2<\/p>\n

Providence at Clarkson, 7:30 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nate: These teams are pretty evenly matched. Both play a physical style, yet both also have a lot of skill in their respective lineups. I\u2019ll give the edge to the home team. Clarkson 3-2<\/p>\n

Mark: At this point in the season, the experienced Golden Knights are too much for the young Friars. Clarkson 4-2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
