UConn men’s hockey has five games left in the first half of the season before the winter break and to this point, it’s been a mostly successful year. The Huskies are 7-6-0 (5-4-0 Hockey East), have avoided bad losses and are coming off a split with No. 15 UMass Lowell in which they played some of their best hockey of the season.
That’s not to say UConn has checked off every box through 13 games, though. The Huskies, despite a bevy of offensive talent, haven’t been an explosive scoring team. Defensively, they’re stout but prone to lapses.
