UConn men’s hockey is one of the hottest teams in the country, with a 7-1-0 record stretching back to a 3-2 overtime win over New Hampshire on Jan. 22. The only loss came to then-No. 2 Quinnipiac in the Connecticut Ice Festival final.
Stringing wins together around this time of year has become a theme for the Huskies over the past few years, as they went 5-3-0 to close both the 2019-20 and 2018-19 seasons and the team won seven straight games in 2017-18 to secure a quarterfinal berth in the Hockey East Tournament — the first in program history.
