SCOUTING THE RIVER HAWKS:  UMass Lowell is 16-10-5 / 10-7-4 after splitting a two-game series against Massachusetts.  Each team won their home game.  The team is 9-5-1 on the road this season and only 7-5-1 at the Tsongas Center.  The River Hawks are in a fourth place tie with UConn.  They are four points behind first place Boston College and just two points behind second place UMass.  The fourth place duo has a one-point edge on sixth place Boston University.  They have a five-point edge over ninth place UNH.  The team is ranked 15th in the USA Hockey Magazine Poll and 12th in the USCHO Poll.  The River Hawks were picked for a sixth place finish in both the Hockey East Coaches' and the Media Pre-Season polls.  Twenty players have scored goals this season, five have six or more. Carl Berglund leads the team with twelve.  Connor Sodergren has eight while Kenny Hausinger and Andre Lee have seven.  Matt Brown has six. Brown leads the team with 24-points including 18 assists.  The top three point scorers, Brown, Berglund and Lee, are freshmen.  Goalie Tyler Wall has started twenty-nine of the team's thirty-one games with a 2.15 goals against average and a .930 save percentage.  Wall has authored two of his nine career shutouts this season.

SCOUTING THE WILDCATS:  New Hampshire is 15-13-2 / 9-10-1 and coming off a bye week.  The last time the club was on the ice, February 14 and 15, it dropped a pair of games to Boston University.  UNH is 10-4-1 at home and 4-8-1 on the road.  The Wildcats are in ninth place, two-points back of a pair of teams, Northeastern and Providence, who are tied for the final two playoff spots, seventh and eighth place.  The team was picked to finish seventh in the Coaches' Pre-Season Poll and in the Media Pre-Season Poll.  New Hampshire returned five of its top six 2018-19 point scorers.  Seventeen different players have scored goals, six have seven or more.  Angus Crookstank leads the squad with 13-goals, Patrick Grasso has a dozen.  Defenseman Max Gildon lead the team in points with 25, including a team best 18-assists.  Charlie Kelleher is second with 23-points.  Goalie Mike Robinson has started 22 of the team's 30 games and has a 2.59 goals against average and an .899 save percentage.  Robinson has 1-0 wins against both Boston College and Massachusetts.

ALL-TIME SERIES VS. NEW HAMPSHIRE:  This is the first meeting between the two teams this season and the 125th meeting in a series that dates back to 1983.  UNH leads the series 63-44-17, but UML has won twelve of the last nineteen, including four by shutout.  UNH had the edge last season, 1-0-2.  The two teams have met on numerous occasions in the post-season.  UMass Lowell holds an 8-6-0 edge in HEA Tournament play including a 4-0 shutout to earn the 2014 Hockey East Tournament title.  The River Hawks also defeated UNH 2-0, in Manchester, to win the NCAA Northeast Regional final and advance to the Frozen Four in 2013.

 

LAST YEAR vs. NEW HAMPSHIRE:  UMass Lowell managed just two ties in last year's three game series against New Hampshire and that included some dramatics.  The River Hawks got two extra attacker goals from Ryan Lohin in the final 2:13 of the third period to earn a 2-2 tie back on November 9, 2018.  They dropped a 1-0 decision in Durham on March 1st.  Jackson Pierson got the only goal of the game.  In the final meeting, another 2-2 tie, Kenny Hausinger and Connor Wilson got goals sandwiched around two by the Wildcats.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION:  These two teams have played each other in nine different buildings, the second greatest number of venues for UMass Lowell against any one opponent.  UMass Lowell and UNH have faced off at Tully Forum (Billerica, MA), Snively Arena (Durham, NH), Boston Garden (Boston, MA), JFK Coliseum (Manchester, NH), Alfond Arena (Orono, ME), Whittemore Center (Durham, NH), Tsongas Center (Lowell, MA), Fleet Center/TD Garden (Boston, MA) and the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, NH.)  UMass Lowell has also played Maine and Boston College in nine different buildings, but Clarkson tops the list with ten different venues.

NOT THE FRIENDLY CONFINES:  UMass Lowell has not had the greatest success at the Whittemore Center where the two teams will play on Saturday night.  The River Hawks are only 11-26-4, .317, in the building.  That includes games in the 1997 Governor's Cup Tournament (4-0 loss to Vermont.)  The UML winning percentage at the Whit is the lowest in any current Hockey East building.  Recent years have been more favorable.  The River Hawks are 6-4-0 at the Whittemore Center during the Norm Bazin Era.

BIG ICE:  The Norm Bazin led River Hawks have played well on "Big Ice."  The River Hawks are 45-22-6 on ice sheets larger than the standard/NHL 200 x 85 during Bazin's almost nine years behind the bench.  They are 13-4-1 on the Olympic, 200 x 100, sheet including a 6-4-0 record at the Whittemore Center.

ABOUT LAST WEEKEND:  UMass Lowell and Massachusetts split a home-and-home series, each winning in their own building.  The River Hawks came from behind with two third period goals in the Friday night affair.  Chris Schutz got the game winner with just 27.5-seconds remaining in the third period.  On Saturday night UMass Lowell came from behind to tie the game with two third period goals only to see John Leonard break the tie and then add an empty net goal for the hat trick and a 5-3 UMass win.

45 SAVES:  When Tyler Wall made 45-saves last Saturday night in UMass Lowell's 5-3 loss at Massachusetts it was the most pucks stopped by a River Hawk goalie in more than eight years.  The last UMass Lowell netminder to make 45 saves in a game was Doug Carr.  That happened in a 5-3 win at New Hampshire of December 3, 2011.  Carr made 28 saves in the first period of that game.  That's 3,003 days between 45-save performances.

PLAYOFFS:  UMass Lowell has not yet clinched a spot in the Hockey East playoffs, but the team could do so tonight.  A win would guarantee a post season appearance.  UMass Lowell could also grab a playoff spot with a Providence loss to Maine on Saturday afternoon.

TIEBREAKER:  With Nine teams still battling for four home ice spots in the opening round of the Hockey East playoffs winning the season series becomes magnified.  The season series is the first in a series of tiebreakers.  UMass Lowell holds that first tiebreaker with Providence and with Maine, but has lost the season series to both Boston University and Northeastern.  The River Hawks trail, 0-1-1, in the season series with UConn with one game still to play.  UMass Lowell has split the season series with both Massachusetts and Boston College, 1-1-0.  The River Hawks have yet to play New Hampshire.

A WIN TONIGHT...  ...could move UMass Lowell into a second place tie with UMass.  At the very least it would keep the River Hawks in no worse than a tie for fourth place and would clinch a playoff spot.  If Tyler Wall is in nets the win would be his 58th.  He is the River Hawks Division I career leader.

NEXT WEEKEND:  The River Hawks play just one game and it could be a very big one.  UConn, with whom the River Hawks are tied with for fourth place, comes to the Tsongas Center on Friday night.  UMass Lowell leads the all-time series 24-11-3, but is 0-1-1 against the Huskies this season.

THE ROAD AHEAD:  There are three games against two different teams left on the UMass Lowell regular season schedule and that road ahead will not be easy.  All of the River Hawks remaining games are against teams with a .500 record or better.  That list of opponents includes just New Hampshire and UConn.  The River Hawks remaining opponents have a combined record of 44-39-8 and a winning percentage of .528.

GETTING ON THE BOARD FIRST:  UMass Lowell is 10-4-3 this season when they score the first goal of the game.  Since Norm Bazin took over the coaching responsibilities, the River Hawks are 149-28-17 when they score the first goal of the game.  That's a .812 winning percentage. That figure is the second best in the nation.  Minnesota State is tops the charts at 166-32-13 (.818).  Denver is 3rd at 161-33-19 (.800).  BC comes in 4th at 159-33-18 (.799).  For reference, the national average over the last 9 years is .697, and this year it's .706.  Oddly enough UMass Lowell's last two wins have come when the opponent scored the first goal of the game.

BACK-TO-BACK:  UMass Lowell has sixteen "back-to-back" weekend series this season.  fifteen have been played, this is the sixteenth.  The team is 8-4-3 on the first night and 7-6-2 on the second.  They have swept both Alabama Huntsville and Vermont and had a sweep weekend by beating both Rensselaer and Penn State and Boston College and Merrimack on consecutive nights.  The River Hawks have been swept just once, last weekend by Northeastern.

A CHILD SHALL LEAD:  Freshmen Matt Brown, with 24-points, Carl Berglund, with 22, and Andre Lee along with senior Kenney Hausinger, with 18, lead UMass Lowell in scoring.  They are three of the top nine point producing rookies in Hockey East.  UMass Lowell is the only team in the country whose top three scorers are freshmen.

A CLASS ABOVE: The UMass Lowell rookie class is one of the highest scoring freshmen class in the country.  River Hawk freshmen, in 31 games, have scored 34-goals and 50-assists for 84-points.  That ranks UMass Lowell fifth in the country.  Merrimack, with freshmen, tops the charts 35-goals and 110-points.  Boston University is second with 109-points.  Wisconsin is third with 97-points from freshmen.  Boston College has 94.  The River Hawks are sixth in goals with 34.  Wisconsin with 42 leads.  Matt Brown and Carl Berglund with 24 and 22-points respectively are 8th and 18th in scoring among first year players in the country.  Carl Berglund, with twelve-goals, is sixth among rookie goal scorers.

117 GAMES:  UMass Lowell forward Colin O'Neill has skated in 117 consecutive games. That is the longest active consecutive games streak on the River Hawk roster.  O'Neill's streak began February 4, 2017, his freshman season, in an 8-2 win against UNH.  Sophomore Defenseman Chase Blackmun is second on the consecutive games list with 58.  Michael Kapla is the River Hawk record holder with 161 consecutive games played.

THE CENTURY CLUB: Only two members of the UMass Lowell roster entered this season having played more than 100 games in their collegiate careers.  Two more have now joined them.  Colin O'Neill (139) and Kenny Hausinger (131) joined the Century Club late last season.  Charlie Levesque (101) joined last Friday night and Tyler Wall (100) added his name last Saturday. Connor Sodergren (98) and Anthony Baxter (97) are next on the list. 

BY THE CLOSEST OF MARGINS: UMass Lowell is 64-49-31, .550, in one-goal games since the 2011-12 season.  The team is 9-6-5 this season and was 4-7-5 last year and 10-13-5 over the last two years in one-goal games.

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: When UMass Lowell scores three or more goals in a game it is 171-26-10, .850 during the last eight-plus years.  The River Hawks were 13-3-2 last season and 53-10-3, .826 over the last three seasons.  When scoring two goals or less in a game the River Hawks are 32-84-21, .310, since 2011-12.

PROTECTING THE LEAD: Since Norm Bazin took over the coaching reins at UMass Lowell, the River Hawks are 156-9-11 when leading after two-periods.  That includes a 13-0-2 mark this season.  They are also 33-24-14 when the score is tied after two periods.  The River Hawks were 16-2-0 when leading after two periods during the 2018-19 season and 50-5-2 during the last three seasons.  The River Hawks were also 2-1-3, a year ago, when tied after two periods.

THE WORST LEAD IN HOCKEY?:  Not when Lowell is involved. Since Norm Bazin became head coach, when Lowell has a 2-goal lead at any point in a game, they are 163-11-4, 77-5-3 at the Tsongas Center. The club is 10-1-0, this season, with a two-goal lead.  Last season, they were 17-3-0, 7-1-0 at Tsongas. When Lowell trails by 2 goals at any point in a game, they are 6-70-7, 2-32-4 at Tsongas. Last year, they were 0-7-2, 0-6-2 at Tsongas.

OFFENSE FROM THE DEFENSE: UMass Lowell is ninth in Hockey East in offense from the defense.  The River Hawks defensemen have combined for 14-goals and 54-points.  That represents 24.2% of the team's offensive output.  Massachusetts tops the list; with 19-goals and 82-points, 32.0% of the team's offense has come from defensemen.  Boston University is second with 31.3% of its offense coming from the defense.

DEFENSE:  Over the past eight-plus seasons, UMass Lowell has allowed just 2.27 goals per game and has a .920 save percentage.  Those number are among the best in the country.  Only three teams, (Cornell 2.17, Quinnipiac 2.22 and Minnesota State 2.21), have a better goals against average and just one, (Denver .921) has a higher save percentage.

ON TARGET:  UMass Lowell has scored on 10.2% of its shots on goal during the eight-plus years that Norm Bazin has been behind the bench.  Only six teams show greater accuracy.  St. Cloud tops the lists at 11.1%.  Hockey East rivals Boston College is at 10.7% and Northeastern is at 10.6%.  Minnesota is at 10.3%.  Harvard and North Dakota are at 10.2%.

ON THE ROAD: UMass Lowell is 9-5-1, .633, playing away from the Tsongas Center this season.  That .633 winning percentage is the ninth best in the country and third best among Hockey East schools.

 

ON THE ROAD, AGAIN: UMass Lowell is 105-62-12, a .620 winning percentage when playing away from the Tsongas Center in the almost nine years that Norm Bazin has led the program.  That .620 (.62301117) winning percentage is the second best in the nation during that period.  Quinnipiac, at 104-59-20, .622 (.622950), is first. The River Hawks are 81-51-11, .605, as the road team and 24-11-1, .681, in games played at a neutral site.

HOME SWEET HOME?: UMass Lowell has won seven of sixteen with four ties at the Tsongas Center this season and is 98-48-19 (a .652 winning percentage) at the Tsongas Center since Norm Bazin took over behind the bench for the 2011-12 season.  In 2018-19 the River Hawks were 8-8-3 on home ice.  The last time the River Hawks had a losing record at home was 2010-11 when the home team went 4-12-0.

 

AFTER A LOSS:  UMass Lowell did a terrific job avoiding any extended losing streak a year ago and appear to be doing the same this year.  Seven times, a year ago, the River Hawks followed a loss with a win or a tie, only on three occasions did the hockey club lose consecutive games and never dropped three in a row.  They have lost consecutive games only three times this season, they have not lost three straight.  They have followed losses with wins four times and twice with ties.

THIRTY-ONE GAMES IN:  Thirty-one games into the season and UMass Lowell appears to have slipped behind last year's pace.  The River Hawks are 16-10-5 after being 18-10-3 a year ago.  The team is 10-7-4 in league play compared with 12-5-3 a year ago.

THE ORDER OF THE ENGINEER:  Senior goalie and Mechanical Engineering major Tyler Wall joined the Order of the Engineer in ceremonies Wednesday.  The tradition finds graduating students pledge toward "upholding devotion to the standards and dignity of the engineering profession." They are to serve their field with integrity and professionalism. It is the engineering version of the Hippocratic Oath.

WHEN THE GAME IS ON THE LINE:  UMass Lowell goalie Tyler Wall has been at his best when the game is on the line.  He is second in the country in saves in the third period and overtime.  Wall has stopped 314 of 342 shots (.918) in the final 25 minutes of hockey.

PROTECTING THE NET: UMass Lowell is one of the top defensive team in Hockey East.  The River Hawks have a 2.39 goals against average.  That's 16th in the country and fifth in Hockey East.  UMass Lowell has allowed no more than two-goals in 18 of its 31 games.

RIVER HAWK STRONG AT EVEN STRENGTH: UMass Lowell has outscored their opponents by a significant margin when playing even strength hockey.  The River Hawks have scored 60-goals while allowing just 41 while the teams have been playing with five skaters apiece.

GENERATING OFFENSE: UMass Lowell has the third highest percentage of offense generated at even strength.  60 of the team's 82 goals (73.2%) have come at even strength.  That 73.2% is the third highest in Hockey East.  The UMass Minutemen have the highest percentage of even strength goals at 84.0%.  The River Hawks have generated 24.4% of its offense on the power play and added a couple of shorthanded goals.  Providence leads Hockey East in percentage of offense generated on the power play at 33%.

FLUXUATIONS IN THE POWER GRID: The UMass Lowell power play has been an up and down affair scoring in just three of the team's last eight games.  That said, the River Hawks are 18-74, 24.3% in their last twenty-four games.  The team is just 20 for 102, 19.6%, on the season.  That's after starting the year 2-for-28, 7.1%. 

PK OK?: The UMass Lowell penalty killing unit hit another couple of bumps on the road.  After killing off 19 consecutive shorthanded situations the River Hawks allowed 11 power play goals in a eight-game stretch.  On the season UMass Lowell has successfully killed 96 of 118 man down situations.  With an 81.4% success rate the PK Unit is fifth in Hockey East and 31st in the nation.

ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT:  UMass Lowell has played twenty games decided by one-goal or less.  Seven of those came consecutively and is the most one-goal games in a row the River Hawks have ever played in their 53 years of hockey.  The team was 3-2-2 in that stretch and is 9-6-5 in one-goal games this season.

DOMINATING THE DOT: UMass Lowell has been dominant in the faceoff circle this year and the year before.  The River Hawks have won 979 of 1,855, 52.8% of the puck drops.  That figure leads Hockey East and is the tenth best in the country.  Charlie Levesque (232/386, 60.1%), Lucas Condotta (247 of 425, 58.1%), Sam Knoblauch (32/55, 58.2%), Brian Chambers (36/65, 55.4%), Kenny Hausinger (59/109, 54.1%) and Connor Sodergren (125/250, 50.0%), lead the way.  Levesque is second in Hockey East and sixth in the country.  A year ago UMass Lowell won 1,179 of 2,240 puck drops, a winning percentage of 52.6%, the best in Hockey East and 54.0% in conference play.  Levesque led the team with a .568 percentage.

CAREER WIN 52:  Goalie Tyler Wall picked up his 52nd career win January 10 at RIT.  That moved Wall to the top of the list as the winningest goalie in UMass Lowell's Division I history.  Dwayne Roloson had held the record, at 51, since wrapping up his collegiate career in 1994.  Marty Fillion who's playing days ended in 1998 is now third with 50 career wins.  Wall has now upped his win total to 56.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES:  Things have changed for three River Hawk defensemen.  Jon McDonald (+5), Seth Barton (+5) and Chase Blackmun (+3) have increased their offensive output.  Blackmun leads the group with five-goals and 15-points.

IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT:  UMass Lowell is receiving recognition in the polls for the 17th straight week.  The team is slotted at number 12 in the USCHO Poll and 15th in the USA Hockey Magazine poll.  It is the 17th week in a row and the 18th time this season that UMass Lowell has appeared in at least one of the two polls.  The team closed out the 2018-19 season earning a spot in the USCHO poll in each of the final eleven weeks of the season and finished the year at number 19.  The River Hawks are no stranger to the polls, the team had been nationally ranked for 116 consecutive polls between Jan. 7, 2013 and Oct. 23, 2017.

THE NEW YEAR'S PAIRWISE:  UMass Lowell was ranked 12th in the Pairwise as the calendar flipped from 2019 to 2020.  During the previous eight season with Norm Bazin at the helm UMass Lowell has been as high as number five in 2017 and as low as number 30 a year ago.  In five of the previous eight years the River Hawks earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament, three times they did not.  During the 2012-13 season UMass Lowell made it to the Frozen Four after sitting at number 21 at mid-year.  They were number 12 in 2014-15, but missed the post season.

A GOOD START: UMass Lowell allowed just 15 first period goals in 31 games this season.  That's just 0.48 goals per first period and that's ranks the River Hawks 4th best in the country and number two among Hockey East teams.  Cornell and Niagara lead the nation.  Each has given up just 13 first period goals.  On the other side of the equation UMass Lowell has scored just 20 first period goals and that ranks the team 41st in the country.  The team is 6-3-1 when leading after one period.

THE FINAL THIRD:  The River Hawks outscored their opponents 37-goals to 26 in the third period of play a year ago.  The 0.30 per game margin was third best in Hockey East and is 11th in the country.  No Hockey East team gave up fewer third period goals.  This season has been a bit different. UMass Lowell has been outscored, 34-28, in the third period this season.

IN THE CLUTCH:  River Hawk freshman Carl Berglund has stepped up in the clutch.  A "clutch goal" is defined as a goal that either ties the score or gives the team the lead in a hockey game.  Berglund leads the team with nine clutch goals, five have given the team the lead, four have tied the score.  Matt Brown has five clutch goals and five players have three.  Berglund also leads the team with three game winning goals.  Andre Lee, Chase Blackmun and Marek Korencik have two.

FACING THE BEST:  UMass Lowell has responded to the challenge winning five out of eight games against top-ten teams in the USCHO and USA Hockey Magazine polls.  All but two of those games have been on the road.  The River Hawks split a two-game series at number one Minnesota Duluth and split a pair of games with number four Boston College and were winners at number seven ranked Providence and split a pair of games with number eight Massachusetts last weekend.  UMass Lowell also defeated number seven Penn State.  They also split a pair of games with then ranked 15th Providence.  The River Hawks are 6-6-0 against Nationally ranked teams.
