UConn Men’s Ice Hockey Team Prepares for Standings-Implicating Match Against No. 4 Maine
As the UConn Men’s Ice Hockey season winds down, the team is gearing up for a crucial matchup against no. 4 Maine on Friday, February 21. With both teams tied in the standings – UConn for 5th and Maine for 1st – the outcome of this one-game showdown could have significant implications for both sides.
This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season, with UConn coming out on top in their last matchup in January. Key players to watch include Joey Muldowney, who has been on a hot streak with points in 11 of the last 14 games, and Hudson Schandor, the team captain who has been a standout player in the last series.
Notable milestones were achieved by Schandor and John Spetz over the weekend, with Schandor becoming the all-time leader for total points in the Hockey East era. Additionally, the team leads the country in short-handed goals scored.
On the NHL front, Marc Gatcomb recently joined the ranks of former Huskies who have gone pro, with a call-up to the New York Islanders. This makes him the 9th UConn alum to make it to the league, alongside other notable players such as Tage Thompson and Ruslan Iskhakov.
