The Biggest Upsets in the NCAA Last Weekend

Another week of college hockey meant another week of insanity. In-conference upsets, big rivalry games, and a tone of elite matchups all took place. But what were the biggest upsets of the weekend, and what implications may they have on the season?

The Terriers came into this friday matchup with some heat after a promising weekend and they brought that energy to their first matchup with Michigan State and it showed on the ice and the scoreboard. 

Xavier Villeneuve, Caleb Malhotra, Tynan Lawrence, and Carter Amico were the lone BU players with multiple points in this one. Three young players stepped up for BU and athey have been slowly improving as the season has gone on. 

Malhotra has four points in his last five games and has played with an insane amount of confidence, and when you add in Lawrence adding to his great sophomore season this team has avery great depth due to their young guys showing out early in this season. 

The RedHawks took down the sixth ranked Bulldogs and set the tone in what is now a 7-3 start to their season and this past Friday was a big step in them becoming an elite team in the sport. 

Despite first-round pick Ilya Morozov going scoreless in this one, the team was still able to shine because their depth stepped up and took over this one.

For Duluth this isn’t a hit the panic button, it’s a chance to learn from the film and come better next weekend against St. Cloud State.

Colorado College has abeen one of my favourite teams to keep an eye on this seasoan due to their streng defensive system and ability to shut any team down on any given night.

One thing that has held them back at times is their lack of offensive consistency. They remains one of the best defensive teams but Lindenwood did just enough to keep themselves in this game and end in a tie. 

This is huge for Lindenwood as it shows they can hang with one of the toughest teams to play against in the NCAA. For Colorado College they need to treat this as a chance to figure out their offense and how they can improve it as the year goes on.
