Pregame: Merrimack vs. Connecticut

Merrimack is back at Lawler Arena tonight for a 7 p.m. puck drop against Connecticut. The Warriors enter tonight’s game ranked No. 8 in the Pairwise, while the Huskies are ranked No. 11.

Christian Felton and Filip Forsmark will both return to the lineup for the Warriors tonight. Felton has been out of action since Nov. 3 against Boston College and has missed the last five games. Forsmark missed last Tuesday’s game against Holy Cross after he was injured on Nov. 17 against Sacred Heart.
