Final Final Five Preps

UMD battles North Dakota tonight at 7 P.M. in the WCHA Final Five at XCel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Live coverage can be found locally on The Fan 1490 and fan1490.com starting at 6:30. The game can be seen on Fox Sports North.

We'll be at the rink tonight, posting the final lineups as usual around 6:00, and we'll also try to post the All-WCHA announcement once it is released sometime after 4:00. It's expected that UMD's Jack Connolly will make the first team, and Justin Fontaine will likely be on the second team.

If UMD wins, they play Friday at 7:00, and we'll be staying in St. Paul to provide more coverage. If the Bulldogs lose, they will have to wait and see the results of other conference tournaments to see if they can squeeze into the at-large field (not likely), and we'll be heading home Friday morning.
