We simply need to finish in the top 5 of the league and win the first round of the WCHA playoffs to get in.
Taking 3-4 points from Denver would be huge since it is the only meeting we will have. Splitting with SCSU will give us the tiebreaker with them too.
At a minimum, we have to split the next 2 series or we're in trouble. We also need to score more than 3 goals against a bottom dweller like UMD. I'm a little concerned that the MSU collapse in the 3rd period is having a lasting effect on this team.
Unfortunately, I think we have a very good chance of finishing 6th in the league which would kill our chances for the NCAAs.
