    TOP 3 ROUNDUP<\/p>\n

    Quinnipiac unanimously tops this week\u2019s poll following their performance on Friday. Sitting at first in pairwise and the USCHO.com poll, the Bobcats put together a six-goal third period at Dartmouth to take a dramatic comeback victory, 7-5. The Bobcats have the nation\u2019s fifth best power play at 26.61% and the fourth best penalty kill at 89.8%. Defensively, Quinnipiac only allows an average of 1.7 goals per game.<\/p>\n

    North Dakota drops to second despite two victories. Those wins came over a struggling Western Michigan and weren\u2019t too convincing. The Fighting Hawks allow 1.66 goals per game. Cam Johnson is the nation\u2019s top goaltender with a .948 SV% and a 1.313 GAA.<\/p>\n

    St. Cloud State holds its third ranking for the week following a pair of victories in the North Star College Cup. The Huskies are second in goals per game with 4.357 along with the nation\u2019s second best power play at 32.35%. Offensively, Kalle Kossila is fourth nationally with 23 assists.<\/p>\n

    STAT OF THE WEEK:<\/p>\n

    Minnesota fell to Bemidji State on Saturday 4-2. It was only the second time in program history the Beavers downed the Gophers, with the first coming in 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
