Minnesota Duluth hosts Miami at 7:07 p.m. tonight in NCHC play at Amsoil Arena in Duluth in the second-to-last regular season game of the season.
The Bulldogs can clinch home ice in the first-round of the NCHC playoffs with a win tonight or in tomorrow’s rematch at 7:07 p.m. at Amsoil Arena.
Tonight’s game is being broadcast locally on My9. You can also follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/mattwellens for updates.
The Bulldogs’ line chart for tonight can be seen here. Senior wing Austyn Young is back in the lineup after missing the last three games with a shoulder injury. He’s playing on the fourth line alongside Charlie Sampair and Cal Decowski.
Miami’s line chart can be seen here. The RedHawks needs four points this weekend to stay home next weekend for the NCHC playoffs. They’d most likely host UMD.
