Merrimack 5, Vermont 4 (SO)
If Lowell wins both of their remaining games in regulation, wouldn't that be enough to pass MC for the final home ice spot, regardless of what UNH does? Both UML and MC would have 31 points, and UML would have the tiebreaker, I think
Actually, that's correct. Magic number is still 1 point, but you have to include Lowell losing at least 1 point as well.
So it's ...
Merrimack earns at least 1 point
OR
New Hampshire loses at least 1 point, and Lowell loses at least 1 point.
