FYP.

These next four games are at home and absolutely must result in regulation wins. Splitting at Western would be great as well.

When I did the CHN NPI customizer it looked like we could go 3-3 and still be 3 as far as our own results go. But that will also depend on if the teams below us can propel themselves up. But all things point to us getting #3-4 as long as we don't go below .500 in the next month

So, does Dalton Andrew get a chance this weekend, or does Jubenvill play forward?

Did we get an update on Zmolek or Klee? Because if they are both out then I'm guessing Andrew gets in for sure because Jubenvil would take Zmolek's place.

This has been said on the Forum 100 times this year, but we are so spoiled with our defensive depth. I have 0 concerns about Jubenvil stepping in for a few games if Zmolek needs recovery. Sure he isn't going to kill penalties or win as many board battles but the guy makes simple and smart plays and rarely looks out of place.

I was thinking more about clinching the Penrose before the WMU road series.

Or maybe Zakreski is closer and they can get him back up to speed a bit?

Any of these potential solutions are a relief considering what could have happened to #17. 

I didn't know Zakreski was 20, definitely no medical red-shirt for him. Even if he goes on a pitch count, I agree, get him back in the lineup this weekend.

Have folks living in the upper Midwest started pulling the trigger on Sioux falls tickets? It's a safe assumption if we are a 1 seed we will be placed there.

I was told that Z would have played last weekend had it been needed. Sounds like he'll be good to go soon, if not already.

He should be coming available also and is a center.

Just finished listening to this week’s UND hockey podcast with Brad Schlossman and Jason Feldman. Schlossman said if we win all 4 of these next two home series, we’d clinch the Penrose before traveling to Western. It’s a tall order but doable.
