No. 15 Arizona State (11-8) is just a few hours away from opening puck drop with the Brown Bears (3-12) out east in Providence, Rhode Island.
In what has been a tough year for the Bears, Brown has only mustered three wins thus far. Therefore, with a chance at an upset bid, ASU has to be on high alert.
The Sun Devils are coming off a series split against No. 17 Michigan Tech, and ASU is looking for its first series sweep in nearly two months.
Sitting at No. 15 in the PairWise rankings, the Sun Devils control their own destiny throughout the rest of the regular season, but they will have to pile up some more wins if they want to get off the bubble and put themselves in a more secure position for the postseason.
