UConn men’s hockey looking to end losing streak in Hockey East playoffs

It’s been three years since UConn men’s hockey last played a playoff game.

In 2017-18, the Huskies used a seven-game win streak to catapult themselves into fifth place — their highest finish in Hockey East to that point — and set up a showdown with fourth seed BU. UConn couldn’t carry that magic into the postseason, however, as its season ended with a pair of one-goal defeats.

The Huskies missed out on the playoffs during a 12-20-2 rebuilding campaign the following year but bounced back to finish fifth once again in 2019-20. UConn was about to get on the bus to head to Maine for a Hockey East quarterfinal game against the Black Bears when the season was shockingly canceled due to COVID-19.
