BOSTON — The No. 19/20 Northeastern men's hockey team returns to Hockey East play this weekend as it travels to UConn for a two-game series beginning Friday, Nov. 13.
Friday's game is set for a 7 p.m. faceoff at the Toscano Family Ice Forum in Storrs, Connecticut, and the teams will finish the series on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut. Both games will stream live on ESPN+.
THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
- HUSKIES VS. HUSKIES: Northeastern and UConn are set to meet for the 32nd time in program history. Northeastern leads the all-time series 17-14-0, but UConn has won each of the past five meetings, including all three in 2025-26. This season, UConn has scored the fourth-most goals in Hockey East this season (33) but also allowed the most (45) through their 10 contests. In net, Kam Hendrickson (4.04 GAA, .898 save percentage) and Veeti Louhivaara (4.33 GAA, .831 save percentage) have split time, while forward Joey Muldowney (6-5—11) has led the scoring.
- BEWARE THE SHARK TANK: Freshman Dawson Sharkey has three goals this season, two of which came in the Huskies' win over Holy Cross on Saturday (Nov. 7). He is the first Husky freshman to record a multi-goal game in his first six collegiate games since Gunnarwolfe Fontaine did so in 2020.
- POWERING THE OFFENSE: The Huskies' power play has been a highlight through the first six games of the season. Converting at a 27.6 percent clip, Northeastern leads Hockey East and ranks 11th in the NCAA in that category. Amine Hajibi's three PP tallies lead Hockey East and are fourth in NCAA DI entering the weekend. At even strength, Jacob Mathieu (5-3—8) leads the Huskies with five goals and ranks eighth in NCAA DI in goals per game (0.83) entering the weekend and second in Hockey East.
Northeastern will next head to Stonehill for a series with the Skyhawks beginning Thursday, Nov. 19.
