This weekend’s highlighted games include a home-and-home Hockey East series between Merrimack and Providence, two of the league’s top teams so far. The Warriors knocked the Friars out of the Hockey East playoffs last season on their way to the league title.
Dartmouth and Quinnipiac also meet in the ECAC, and Colorado College hosts Western Michigan in the NCHC.

Games of the week
(17) Providence vs. (18) Merrimack
Friday, 7 p.m. (Schneider Arena); Saturday, 7 p.m. (Lawler Arena)
The Warriors are unbeaten in eight straight (6-0-2) since losing to Quinnipiac on opening night, Oct. 3. Providence is 6-2, and one of its losses also came against Quinnipiac.
By the way, the Bobcats also have wins over New Hampshire and Maine. I think, technically, they might be in first place in Hockey East. But I digress.
Two of Hockey East’s top teams so far meet this weekend in a home-and-home series that opens Friday night at Schneider Arena.
