Minnesota Duluth visits Denver in another rematch of last year s National Championship game, though the Pioneers swept UMD in a pair of one-goal games in Duluth back on Dec. 1-2. St. Cloud State also already earned a road sweep against this weekend s opponent as the Huskies host Omaha, which they swept in Omaha also Dec. 1-2. The third series between Western Michigan and Miami ended in a split in Kalamazoo on Dec. 8-9. Six NCHC teams are ranked in the USCHO.com Poll this week, tying for the most ranked teams from one conference, while all six teams are in the top 15 of the USCHO.com Poll. The NCHC s five ranked teams in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll are two more than any other conference. With no NCHC teams higher than fourth in the USCHO.com poll, this is only the sixth week since the start of the 2016-17 season that an NCHC team has not been No. 1 in the USCHO Poll. Half of the NCHC teams have held the No. 1 spot during that span (SCSU, DU, UND and UMD), while only four other NCAA teams have total (Boston University, Penn State, Notre Dame and Cornell, this week). (page 9) Omaha senior forward Tyler Vesel became the second active NCHC player to join the Century Club last weekend as he sits on exactly 100 career points (38g, 62a) in 139 games played. He joins Denver junior forward Dylan Gambrell (40-81=121) in the 100-point club. Fellow DU junior forward Troy Terry is next in line, needing only three points for 100 with 42 goals and 55 assists for 97 career points in 102 games. Omaha senior forward Jake Randolph is only seven points away (25-68=93). Four of the top five largest individual point improvements from last season to this season are by NCHC players. CC sophomore Nick Halloran leads the country with a 30-point improvement as he is tied for the NCAA lead with 39 points this year after only nine all last season. Western Michigan sophomore Dawson DiPietro is second with a 26-point improvement as he has 27 points this year after only one assist as a rookie. CC junior Trey Bradley and Omaha sophomore Zach Jordan are tied for fourth as both have a 19-point improvement from last season (Bradley was hurt much of last season). DiPietro, Halloran and Jordan are all tied for the biggest goal improvement in the NCAA this year, each with an 11-goal improvement from their freshman seasons. Omaha senior forward David Pope leads the NCAA with 10 power play goals this season, two more than any other player. He needs just one more power play goal to tie the NCHC single-season record, set by St. Cloud State s Jonny Brodzinski in 2014-15 when he tallied 11. Colorado College junior Mason Bergh and Denver junior Jarid Lukosevicius are both tied for second nationally with eight power play goals each. The NCHC is home to five of the top 10 power play units in the country, led by Miami, which is first nationally at 27.8 percent. @TheNCHC #NCHCHockey /TheNCHC @TheNCHC TheNCHC NCHC.tv

Halloran recorded points in five of six games in January, including four multi-point games. Halloran logged four points in a pair of games against UMD Jan. 12-13. In the series opener, he notched three points, including a career-high-tying two goals, in a 6-5 loss, while adding an assist the next night. After being held scoreless in CC s series opener at WMU Jan. 19, his only game without a point during the month, he again recorded three points the next night in a 6-5 overtime win, handing out two assists before scoring the game-winner in overtime to nab First Star of the Game and give the Tigers their first ever win at WMU. Halloran concluded his month with a five-point outing against Miami Jan. 26-27, which earned him NCHC co-offensive Player of the Week. In Friday s 6-3 victory, he tied a career high with three assists, as he was named Second Star of the Game. The sophomore then scored two goals in Saturday s 4-4 overtime tie for his second multigoal game of the month and First Star of the Game as he was +2. Rookie of the Month Phil Knies Miami Freshman Forward Phoenix, Ariz. Knies doubled his season point total and tripled his goal total in the month of January, recording eight points in six games, which tied for the NCHC lead among rookies and tied for fifth nationally among freshmen. His six goals in the month led all NCHC players and all rookies nationally, as did his 1.00 goals per game. His 1.33 points per game led all NCAA freshmen in January, as well. Knies started his month handing out an assist in Miami s win over Denver Jan. 5. The next weekend, he was named NCHC Rookie of the Week after a four-goal, five-point showing at Omaha. He tallied a career-high three points in a record-setting 18-goal contest Jan. 12 against the Mavericks, including his first career multi-goal game. The next night, Knies did it again, scoring two more goals, including one on the power play, in a narrow loss as he earned Third Star of the Game. Knies closed out January with a goal in each game at Colorado College Jan. 26-27, tallying again on the power play in last Saturday s tie to stretch his goal-scoring streak to four games.

The Cup is named after Julie and Spencer Penrose, who were tremendously successful in the business world and did much of it in Colorado Springs in the early 1900s. The couple made much of their money in the copper industry, which is why the trophy includes copper stars on it. The Penroses also set up the El Pomar Foundation, which still today helps pay for amateur sports and other non-profits, including the NCHC office located in the Copper Building next to the Penrose House on the grounds of the Penrose compound in Colorado Springs. The El Pomar Foundation has also issued grants for the Penrose Cup, medallions for each individual champion and the NCHC s annual Post-Graduate Scholarship. Denver won its first Penrose Cup last season, while North Dakota won back-to-back Penrose Cups in 2015 and 2016 after St. Cloud State won the inaugural season. NCHC Tournament/Frozen Faceoff The NCHC Tournament will consist of four quarterfinal series on the first weekend following regular-season play (March 9-11, 2018). The four higher seeds will host the four lower seeds in a best two-out-of-three format. Seed #1 will host Seed #8, Seed #2 will host Seed #7, Seed #3 will host Seed #6, and Seed #4 will host Seed #5. The winners of the four quarterfinal series will advance to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minn. for the two semifinal games on Friday, March 16. Semifinal games will be reseeded based on the final regularseason standings. The winners of the two semifinal games (4:08/7:38 p.m. CT) will then meet in the Championship Game (7:38 p.m. CT) on Saturday, March 17 for an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the two losers from the semifinal games will face each other in the third-place game (3:38 p.m. CT) earlier in the day. 2016-17 Final NCHC Standings Conference Overall Pts.

Previous Week Round-Up FRIDAY, JAN. 26 On the first full night of conference play since early December, home teams protected their ice, picking up three victories as the top half of the standings tightened, while No. 4/5 Denver extended its lead in first place with a tie and 3-on-3 overtime win. The Pioneers rallied, took the lead and then settled for a 3-3 overtime tie at No. 11/7 North Dakota, before scoring in 3-on-3 overtime to pick up the extra point in the NCHC standings. No. 9/13 Minnesota Duluth continued its climb up the NCHC standings, vaulting into a tie for third with a 5-1 win over No. 5/3 St. Cloud State in Duluth. The Bulldogs are now tied with No. 12/11 Western Michigan, which fell at No. 19/15 Omaha, 6-2, as the Mavericks scored four goals in the final six minutes. Colorado College kept pace with Omaha in a tie for sixth as the Tigers knocked off Miami, 6-3, behind a strong power play effort in Colorado Springs. Jumping out to a 3-0 first period lead, No. 9/13 Minnesota Duluth never looked back in a 5-1 win over in-state rival No. 5/3 St. Cloud State Friday at AMSOIL Arena. Behind senior forward Karson Kuhlman s two goals, the Bulldogs (14-10-3, 8-7-0-0 NCHC) won their sixth straight NCHC game to move into a tie for third place. Kuhlman opened the scoring only 2:36 into the game, while midway through the period junior forward Peter Krieger doubled the lead. Sophomore forward Joey Anderson, who set up Krieger s goal, capped the first frame, scoring with only 11 ticks left to make it 3-0 UMD. The Bulldogs added a pair of short-handed goals in the final three minutes of the second period, the latter coming from Kuhlman, to make it 5-0 after 40 minutes, before the Huskies (14-6-3, 8-4-1-0 NCHC) broke through in the final frame. Despite the loss, SCSU outshot UMD, 25-18, including 13-5 in the third period, but sophomore Hunter Shepard made 24 saves to earn the win in net. In a game of back-and-forth momentum, No. 4/5 Denver earned two points on the road against No. 11/7 North Dakota with a 3-3 overtime tie and 3-on-3 overtime win Friday at Ralph Engelstad Arena. The Fighting Hawks (12-8-7, 6-6-3-0/2 NCHC) jumped out to 2-0 lead in the first 5:18 of the game with junior forward Shane Gersich, who had a two-point night, scoring on the power play for the second goal. The Pioneers (14-6-5, 8-4- 3-2/0 NCHC) started to rally in the second period when junior forward Dylan Gambrell found the back of the net, while two goals in the first six minutes of the third period put DU ahead with junior forward Troy Terry notching the go-ahead goal on the power play. UND had an answer, however, as junior defenseman Hayden Shaw scored with an extra attacker to tie the game at 3-3 and force overtime. After the first OT went scoreless, the teams went to a 3-on-3 OT for the extra standings point where Terry sniped a goal to give DU two points. UND finished with a slight, 21-20 edge in shots on goal. Behind a strong power play, Colorado College cruised past Miami, 6-3, Friday at the Broadmoor World Arena. The Tigers scored three times on the power play, including two from junior forward Mason Bergh. CC (11-11-3, 5-8-2-1/0 NCHC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first frame with junior forward Westin Michaud scoring the second goal on the man advantage. Miami (9-12-2, 4-8-1-0 NCHC) answered a minute later, however, to make it a one-goal game after 20 minutes. Bergh and freshman forward Brian Williams each tallied in the second stanza for the Tigers with Williams adding an empty-netter late for the first two goals of his career. Bergh made it 5-1 before Miami started a comeback with back-to-back power play goals, but the Red- Hawks would get no closer. Sophomore forward Nick Halloran and sophomore defenseman Kristian Blumenschein each dished out three assists in the win. CC finished with a 26-18 edge in shots on goal, while going 3-for-3 on the power play. After the two teams combined for four goals through 50 minutes of play, No. 19/15 Omaha scored four goals by themselves in the final seven minutes to pull away from No. 12/11 Western Michigan for a 6-2 victory Friday at Baxter Arena. The Mavericks (13-11-1, 6-9-0-0 NCHC) scored once in each of the first two periods to grab a 2-0 lead through 40 minutes. The Broncos (13-11-1, 8-7-0-0 NCHC) roared back in the third period with goals from senior defenseman Neal Goff and freshman forward Austin Rueschhoff, the latter on the power play that tied the game midway through the final frame. Omaha took over from there, however, with senior captain Joel Messner tallying the game-winner on the power play with 6:18 remaining, while the Mavericks added a pair of empty-net goals and another power play goal in the final 1:03 to seal the victory. WMU outshot Omaha, 34-29, despite the loss, but the Mavericks went 3-for-7 on the man advantage and junior goalie Evan Weninger compiled 32 saves in the win. SATURDAY, JAN. 27 Only one team was able to complete a weekend sweep Saturday, while another series resulted in a split and two NCHC games ended in 3-on-3 overtime. No. 19/15 Omaha continued to roll at home, piling up seven goals in a 7-3 win over No. 12/11 Western Michigan to earn its third straight sweep at Baxter Arena. No. 5/3 St. Cloud State crept closer to first place with a 2-1 win at No. 9/13 Minnesota Duluth, securing a series split. No. 4/5 Denver remained atop the NCHC standings as they tied No. 11/7 North Dakota a second straight night, doing so 1-1 on Saturday, while collecting the extra standings point with a 3-on- 3 overtime goal for the second straight night as well. In Colorado Springs, Colorado College rallied in the third period to tie Miami, 4-4, and also earned an extra standings point with a 3-on-3 overtime tally. In a narrow top-10 in-state battle, No. 5/3 St. Cloud State edged No. 9/13 Minnesota Duluth, 2-1, late in the third period Saturday at AMSOIL Arena to earn a weekend split. With the game tied, 1-1, junior forward Patrick Newell potted a rebound with 5:10 remaining in the game to give SCSU (15-6-3, 9-4-1-0 NCHC) the victory. Freshman forward Nick Swaney put the Bulldogs (14-11-3, 8-8-0-0 NCHC) in front 8:24 into the game, but the Huskies answered 1:36 later when sophomore forward Jake Wahlin tied the game. St. Cloud State outshot UMD, 28-20, in the victory with freshman goalie David Hrenak making 19 saves in the win. Sophomore Hunter Shepard stopped 26 shots for UMD. The Huskies host No. 19/15 Omaha next weekend, while the Bulldogs are at No. 4/5 Denver. For the second straight night, 65 minutes was not enough to decide the game between No. 4/5 Denver and No. 11/7 North Dakota as the rivals tied 1-1, Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena, while like on Friday, DU earned the extra NCHC point in 3-on-3 Jan. 29-Feb. 4, 2018 NCHCHockey.com NCHC.tv 17

Previous Week Round-Up overtime. Freshman forward Kohen Olischefski put the Pioneers (14-6-6, 8-4-3/0 NCHC) in front 7:21 into the game, while junior forward Christian Wolanin tied the game for UND (12-8-8, 6-6-4-0/2 NCHC) on the power play midway through the middle period. Neither team tallied in the third period or 5-on-5 overtime, giving way to freshman defenseman Ian Mitchell scoring a nifty goal in 3-on-3 overtime to give Denver the extra standings point. DU finished with a slight, 23-22 edge in shots on goal. Denver returns home to host No. 9/13 Minnesota Duluth next weekend, while the Fighting Hawks are idle until hosting Colorado College Feb. 9-10. Tallying multiple goals in all three periods, No. 19/15 Omaha continued to roll at home, downing No. 12/11 Western Michigan, 7-3, Saturday at Baxter Arena to complete a weekend sweep and extend its home win streak to six. Senior forwards David Pope and Tyler Vesel each recorded three points in the win on a pair of goals and an assist, to lead six Mavericks with multi-point games. An early power play goal put WMU (13-12-1, 8-8-0-0 NCHC) in front, but Pope, on the power play, and junior forward Fredrik Olofsson each scored later in the first frame to put Omaha (14-11-1, 7-9-0-0 NCHC) ahead for good. Pope made it 3-1 early in the second stanza while UNO struck again 21 ticks later to make it 4-1. After a Bronco goal made it 4-2, Vesel tallied his two goals, the first coming short-handed in the second period, and the other coming five minutes into the final frame, to put the game out of reach at 6-2. Despite the loss, WMU outshot Omaha, 37-35, but junior goalie Evan Weninger made 34 saves in the win. The Mavs head to No. 5/3 St. Cloud State next weekend, while the Broncos remain on the road at Miami. In a back-and-forth contest that saw both teams hold two-goal leads, Miami and Colorado College skated to a 4-4 overtime tie Saturday at the Broadmoor World Arena, with the Tigers earning the extra standings point by scoring in 3-on-3 overtime. The Tigers (11-11-4, 5-8-3-2/0 NCHC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals from sophomore forward Nick Halloran in the first three minutes of the game. The RedHawks (9-12-3, 4-8-2-0 NCHC) roared back with three goals over the final 13 minutes of the first frame, including the final two on the power play to take the lead. Sophomore forward Carson Meyer made it 4-2 Miami midway through the second period with his second goal and third point of the game. The Tigers would not be outdone, however, as junior forwards Mason Bergh and Trevor Gooch scored to tie the game, with Gooch s coming midway through the third period. After neither team tallied in the 5-on-5 overtime, freshman forward Christiano Versich used a wrap-around goal in 3-on- 3 overtime to earn CC the extra standings point. The Tigers finished with a slight, 34-32 edge in shots on goal. CC junior forward Trey Bradley dished out three assists in the tie. Next weekend, the RedHawks host No. 12/11 Western Michigan, while CC is off until heading to Grand Forks for two games at No. 11/7 North Dakota Feb. 9-10. 18 @TheNCHC #NCHCHockey Jan. 29-Feb. 4, 2018
