The top story in today’s issue (#255) is this week’s bracket projection. I wanted to wait until after the Beanpot to run a bracket this week, and I’m glad I did. This week’s bracket would be a perfect scenario for the NCAA.

Also in today’s issue ..

• We have some early entrees into the transfer portal.

• A look at the Big Ten and we use KRACH to project how the logjam in the standings will shake out.

• Our CCHA projection is fairly cut and dry at the moment.

• Denver is in the driver’s seat in the NCHC but they could get some pressure from St. Cloud State.

• I try to make sense of who is competing for what in the Hockey East race.

• Utica totaled almost 100 shots in a game this weekend.
