Rock and Roll - Denver and North Dakota Bragging Rights and More

Some part of the national spotlight rests again on Boston University, as the Terriers play a home-and-home with arch-rival #19 Boston College. But while it's the biggest grudge match of the weekend, it's not the most potent game on the schedule by a long shot. Wrestling for that honor are WCHA contests pitting #10 St. Cloud at #13 Wisconsin and #8 North Dakota at #3 Denver. First place in Atlantic Hockey is up for grabs, and Army and Sacred Heart aim to take the spot and run in an Empire State home-and-home. While top-ranked Miami enjoys a much-appreciated bye week, #2 Michigan hopes to leapfrog the CCHA leaders by way of a deuce with Ohio State. Bemidji State and Niagara meet for the only CHA games on the docket, and ECAC Hockey points — and ever-important momentum — are up for grabs as well. Take it all in; it's a beautiful thing.
