Lines: UConn vs. Colgate

The Huskies host a potentially difficult non-conference opponent at the XL Center on Saturday.

November 27, 2021

UConn men’s hockey will take on a Colgate Raiders team that can’t seem to decide if it’s good or bad. The visitors enter the game 8-7-0 coming off a combined 9-0 weekend against Yale and Brown but also have a lost five straight games this season. Puck drop is set for 4:05 p.m. at the XL Center.

Analysis:

  • As expected, Vladislav Firstov returns while Jonny Evans sits due to an upper body injury. Firstov slots into the fourth line, which bumps Cassidy Bowes to the stands.

  • Chase Bradley and Nick Capone switch places with Marc Gatcomb and Carter Turnbull. The third line of Gatcomb, Hudson Schandor and Turnbull could be fun to watch.

  • There are no changes with the defensive pairings.
