For the third straight season, UConn men’s hockey will host the quarterfinals of the Hockey East Playoffs. The Huskies will welcome UMass Lowell to Toscano Family Ice Forum on Saturday, March 11 after finishing fourth in the standings and earning the No. 4 seed in the tournament. The start time is still TBA.
UConn finished with 41 points after beating Boston College 6-5 while UMass Lowell totaled just 39 after falling 7-3 to Northeastern on Saturday.
Despite losing 69 goals and 98 assists — 63.3 and 54.7 percent of their total production, respectively — from a team that reached the Hockey East championship game last season, the Huskies still finished in the exact same spot in the standings.
