Merrimack was swept by Northeastern this past weekend and put themselves behind a bit in the battle for home ice in the first round of the Hockey East playoffs.

Here are my weekend takeaways, including:

— The scores didn't reflect the game either night.

— The Warriors have had some issue dealing with momentum swings ... especially negative ones.

— Where do they go from here? What's important in the playoff race?

— Quick hits on ice time, defensive takeaways, and zone time.
