UConn men’s hockey entered the weekend as the fourth team out of the NCAA Tournament, the closest the Huskies have come to a bid this late in the season in program history.
After a loss to No. 10 UMass at home on Friday evening in which they were thoroughly outplayed, followed by a gutsy road win over the Minutemen the following night, the Huskies are in NCAA Tournament position with two weeks remaining in the regular season, currently occupying the final spot in the field.
UConn has the strongest remaining schedule out of the teams along the cut line and survived a series with a top-10 team, earning a split.
