College Hockey News released their pairwise probability matrix for 2017 today, which is a great tool to use during the remaining weeks of hockey season. The matrix tells you the probability that each team will make the NCAA Tournament this season based on a number of simulations.
Boston College qualified for the tournament in 36% of the simulations that CHN ran. The Eagles’ likelihood of making the tournament could change as BC has two important games against UMass Lowell this week. UML qualified for the tournament in 90% of the simulations that were run.
As it stands, 3 of last year’s Frozen Four teams likely won’t make the tournament.
