This is going to be a great game tonight. It's honestly the one I'm most excited for this weekend. The line chart looks solid for the 'Nooks. Rookies intermixed with the upperclassmen. Should be a good show. Big test right out of the gates, that's for sure.
For St. Cloud, I expect a physical team. They're dressing 5 freshman in the lineup tonight - two forwards and three defensemen. On the line chart, none of them are paired together either. Their captain Ethan Prow is a bit of a playmaker too. 61 career points coming into his senior season this year. Had a few points in last week's exhibition as well.
Charlie Lindgren looks to make the start between the pipes for the Huskies. The senior has a 2.28 career goals against average and a record of 21-20-2. 19 of those wins came last season in his first year starting. At 6'2", he's a force. From what I've seen in a few highlights, a strong presence and aggressive in the crease. Should be a good challenge for the 'Nooks to crack.
Nan's lines tonight, like I mentioned, look pretty stacked. I love the defensive pairings, getting Jordan Burns and Nik Koberstein into the lineup. Ryker Leer and John Mullally are solid forwards to contribute too. This will be a great test for them too if they get a log of ice time.
