Huskies Prepare For Tigers

12/09/2009 - 11:52 AM

Coming off the first sweep of the season last weekend, the St.Cloud State Men's Hockey team is looking to continue its march of the WCHA standings. St.Cloud now ranked 17th in the nation hosts #6 Colorado College this weekend in a pivotal conference matchup.

The Tigers are currently league leaders in power-play and special teams net, along with being one of the best scoring teams in the conference. St.Cloud is looking to combat this with more aggressive defensive play and another strong showing from freshman goalie, Mike Lee. Lee picked up his first road victories of the year against Alaska Anchorage last week after starting both games due to an injury to the other goalie he was splitting time with, in Dan Dunn. Dunn was limited in practice this week and Lee was taking most of the time on the rink. If Lee does start both games, it will be the first time a goalie would have started both games in back to back series this season.

The battle of nationally ranked teams can be heard here on KVSC this weekend with games slated to start at 7:07 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights. Your sound alternative will also be broadcasting the women's games this weekend with a 2:07 p.m. start on Friday and then 1:07 p.m. on Saturday against Ohio State.
