Omaha vs. Duluth: Nov. 6-7, 2015 series at Baxter Arena

Well, last weekend was a tough one for the Mavericks. Being swept at Western Michigan wasn't the way we wanted to launch our quest to make the NCHC Frozen Faceoff tournament this year, especially after going 6-0-0 to start the year. But the Mavs have the chance to "right the ship" as they take on #6 Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) this weekend at Baxter Arena.

This Tweet from goalie Kirk Thompson should help get you excited about this weekend:

Remember, after this weekend's games, the Mavs will be off next week before traveling to Oxford, Ohio to take on the Miami RedHawks the following weekend.

Here'a roundup of the weekend.
