The Minnesota Golden Gophers Hockey team’s chances to make the NCAA Tournament are looking much brighter this week, and Minnesota didn’t even need to win any games. With the Gophers on a bye last weekend they moved up from #11 to #9 in the Pairwise rankings used to decide on the field for the NCAA Hockey Tournament. With only three weeks left in the regular season, Minnesota appears to be near a virtual lock to make the NCAA Tournament as an at large team if they can just split out the last three series of the season, at Wisconsin, at home for Ohio State, and at Penn State.
