Omaha vs. North Dakota: Feb. 26-27, 2016 at Baxter Arena

The Mavs didn't get any breaks on the ice last weekend, coming up short in their bid to get a win against #3 St. Cloud at home as the regular season comes to an end. Saturday night, the three seniors will be honored (Brian Cooper, Tanner Lane, Aaron Pearce).

North Dakota's high-flying offense is averaging more than four goals a game. The Mavs have struggled with offense as of late. Keys to the game will be limiting the F'n Hawks' first line and for the Mavs, scoring first, early, and often.

Speaking of Cooper, the latest "Maverick Minutes" features an interview with him:
