Pregame: Merrimack vs. Maine
NORTH ANDOVER — Merrimack and Maine will kick off a two-game series at Lawler Arena this afternoon with a 4 p.m. puck drop. The Warriors are making virtually zero lineup changes from last Saturday’s 5-2 win at Boston College. The forward and defensive lines are the same, the only difference is Hugo Ollas will get the nod in goal today.
Maine will counter with Victor Ostman, who has a career 3.27 GAA and .903 save percentage. In eight games this season he sports a 2.44 GAA and .915 save percentage.
