The Bears will try to force a high tempo to take advantage of their speed and depth. Lahar was the ECAC’s goalie of the week. Maine will try to rebound from its 5-4 and 6-1 losses to nationally-ranked Wisconsin. Colgate has swept Findlay and Quinnipiac, outscoring them by a total of 16-6. Maine will have to improve its special teams play. The Badgers went 5-for-11 on the power play while killing off all seven Maine advantages. The Bears will have to neutralize Paiano.
