On the previous two Fridays, UConn men’s hockey and Merrimack dropped the puck in a home-and-home series. The Huskies were sitting sixth in Hockey East when the series began, but were in need of some points, as they had played more Hockey East games than any of the other 10 teams in the league.

They failed to do so, losing a 2-1 lead late in an overtime loss at home followed by a poor performance in a 3-0 loss at Merrimack on Friday.

Here are some takeaways from the pair of games, which are part of a four-game losing streak to start the second half.
