Rasmus Larsson and his Northern Michigan Wildcats have had a rough season as entering Saturday’s CCHA game with Lake Superior State with just four wins for the season. Make it five wins as the Wildcats held off the Lakers 3-2 to earn a split of the weekend series.
Larsson earned his third goal of the season (and in the last four games) got the Wildcats going when he snapped a wrist shot behind a well-placed screen. The even-strength goal tied the game at 1-1.

E. J. Emery did not score as his 16th-ranked North Dakota Fighting Hawks defeated Noah Laba’s Colorado College Tigers 3-1 to earn a split in the NCHC weekend series. Emery was scoreless for the 26th straight game while earning a Unsportsmanlike Conduct minor in the final minute of the game.
Laba was scoreless on three shots and 5-6 on his faceoffs. Neither team should be proud of their play in this game.
Hank Kempf scoreless with a tripping minor as his Cornell Big Red lost to Union 4-1 in ECAC play. Just another inconsistent performance by Cornell.
