For just the second time in program history, UConn men’s hockey is ranked. The Huskies came in at No. 20 in the USCHO Poll on Monday after a week in which they beat Merrimack (who received the fourth-most votes of any team outside the top 20) and Boston College by a combined score of 12-6.
UConn has won its last six Hockey East contests and seven of its last eight games overall. With the win on Friday, the Huskies improved to 16-11-0 on the year and 12-6-0 in the league — the most victories they’ve ever totaled in a single campaign during their Hockey East Era (2014-present).
