Preview: UConn Men's Hockey in Mariucci Classic

The Huskies will take on one of the top programs in college hockey tonight as part of a weekend tournament.

The UConn men's hockey team ended 2015 on a high note. After an eight-game losing streak crippled the Huskies in the early stages of the season, Mike Cavanaugh's team bounced back to sweep then-No. 5 UMass Lowell and earn a tie with then-No. 19 Merrimack, picking up five critical Hockey East points.

After a three-week break, UConn opens 2016 play with an interesting challenge, as the Huskies take part in the Mariucci Classic at the University of Minnesota.
