https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/jayden-perron-dane-montgomery-expected-to-return-to-lineup-for-und Omaha also has a few questionable players with injuries:

Schloss got his article up on Zakreski's commitment: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/josh-zakreski-is-first-chl-player-to-commit-to-und-hockey-since-rule-change Spittin' Chiclets video paying dividends again.

Mostly good news on the injury front at least. Perron & Monty can both play. Emery still out though.

Yep! Have we won a game all season on National TV? Maybe the Friday BU game? I don’t remember if that one was on NCHC TV or not.

Updated as of 3/2 Added Zakreski to the list! Klee has 101 PM this season. Zellers is 1st in goals in USHL, 11 goals ahead of 2nd despite playing 7 less games. Zellers also leads the USHL in shots with 189...next closest has 165. Kid likes to shoot...and score. USHL (Forwards) Klee (Muskegon) - '05: 45gp - 16g/18a Pilgrim (Tri-City) - '06: 43gp - 6g/17a Schultz (Chicago) - '06: 44gp - 12g/17a Zellers (Green Bay) - '06: 40gp - 37g/21a O'Neill (NTDP U18) - '07: 47gp - 5g/7a Sanderson (Muskegon) - '07: 35gp - 3g/5a Bumgarner (Fargo) - '08: 47gp - 5g/6a USHL (Defensemen) Laurila (Fargo) - '06: 45gp - 7g/24a Lindberg (NTDP U18) - '07: 42gp - 0g/7a USHL (Goalies) Heil (Madison) - '06: 27gp - .894 / 2.74 (19-6-2) Other Zakreski - WHL - '05: 57gp - 32g/27a Simpson - MN HS - '07: 28gp - 47g/30a Jundt - SF Power 16U - '08: 34gp - 20g/25a McKamey - BCHL - '09: 45gp - 10g/15a

Yes. This. 100% If Senden and Hain were still on this team, they'd be getting 1st line minutes and PP/PK.

Yes for sure. They've put themselves into those situations far too many times this year. Berry mentions that at the end:

They'd still probably sweep us in the playoffs though...

Agreed. Getting Perron back would be a boost if he's able...

Here are the NCHC tiebreakers: If we tie with UNO, tiebreaker #1 would be out since we only play UNO for one series this year. If that's the case, then UNO would hold the tiebreaker over us because we currently have 10 RW and they have 12 RW. So we need to get 5+ points this weekend against UNO, or they will finish ahead of us.

Best that UND can finish is 3rd. Worst they can finish is 5th. It's looking really likely that UND gets either UNO or DU for first round...outside chance of CC. I'd much rather them face UNO, but we'll see what happens next weekend. UND needs to make up 2pts to tie them, 3pts to pass them.

There's gonna be some desperate teams in St Paul for the Faceoff, trying to extend their seasons. Really only Western is in a strong position come NCAA tourney time. DU is probably in, but sitting close at 10. All the other teams need to win that tourney to get into the NCAA's. Hopefully it makes for some good hockey.

Their FB group would explode if that happens. That whole group has a severe mis-understanding about anything related to PWR or the useless polls...it's quite comical reading every Monday morning when the polls get released.

That helps us if we want to potentially finish 3rd, although I'm pretty sure DU has the tie breaker on us so we'd have to pass them in points.

Man, ASU is gonna screw this up for us.

UNO and ASU tied at 2.

We're now tied with DU for 3rd and one point up on UNO in 5th. Both of their games have yet to finish though.

For once, we won the special teams battle against WMU, and it led to a win. Still outshot 36-18 though.

During the game, those same 3 shots would have taken 24 minutes.

GOOD GOAL UND WINS

Classic irony that Livanavage gets it with how WMU treats opposing #4.

Winner winner, somehow UND winner

That is more likely.

A PP in OT? Will we get a shot on net?
