For the second year in a row, UConn men’s hockey will have a chance to secure home ice in the Hockey East Quarterfinals with a win in its regular season finale.
Last year, the Huskies traveled up to UMass Lowell in search of two points which would put them ahead of Maine for the fourth spot in the conference standings. UConn was ultimately buried by a fluky empty-net goal and fell 3-1, resulting in a fifth-place finish.
This season, the Huskies will have a chance to write a different narrative. Unlike last season where UConn went on a late run sparked by some clutch goals, this year’s squad has mostly held firm in fourth place ever since the Hockey East Power Index came out.
