Vermont is currently vying for the eighth spot in Hockey East, which would secure a home opening round playoff game. They are currently in eighth place with 24 points, just ahead of Holy Cross in ninth place with 23 points. The team will need to perform well in their final weekend series against Northeastern to secure their playoff position.
The Catamounts are coming off a tough weekend against Holy Cross, where they fell in both contests. However, they have a history of success against Northeastern, having secured a 1-0 victory in their previous matchup earlier in the season.
Northeastern, on the other hand, boasts a strong record with key players like Skylar Irving and Lisa Jönsson leading the way. Despite historically struggling against the Huskies, Vermont holds a four-game unbeaten streak in recent meetings.
Overall, Vermont is looking to finish the regular season strong and secure their playoff position as they face off against Northeastern in their final weekend series.
