UConn men’s hockey’s lines for this afternoon’s matchup with Maine:
Analysis:
Gavin Puskar is a surprise addition to the lineup, getting the nod over Cassidy Bowes. It’s unclear if Bowes is injured or just a healthy scratch, though Puskar (6-foot-2, 180 pounds) is a better fill-in for Kale Howarth, who is suspended for this game. This will be Puskar’s third career appearance.
Eric Linell once again fills in for Vladislav Firstov. Maybe he’ll finally record his first collegiate points tonight.
Roman Kinal remains out with an MCL injury, though Mike Cavanaugh said it’s possible he could return this weekend.
Maine’s lines:
Analysis:
Graphic design is apparently Maine’s passion.
The Black Bears only dress two goaltenders.
