Bowling Green State coming to Ferris for two key hockey games

0


BIG RAPIDS – The Ferris State University men’s ice hockey team is set for a rivalry weekend as it welcomes in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s first place Bowling Green Falcons this Friday and Saturday with both games now set for 7:07 p.m.

The streaky Falcons come to town riding their best stretch of the year, a three-game winning streak in which they’ve scored 12 goals to their opponent’s five.

That follows a six-game losing streak where they had a -14 goal differential (deflated badly by an 8-2 loss to Western Michigan at home).

Last season, these two teams split the four-game set, with Ferris State scoring a 6-3 doubling of the Falcons in Ohio and a 2-1 overtime win at home to bookend the season series.

These are two largely similar teams: An impact transfer, sophomore that was one of the league’s best freshman, a good power play, and are in every game.

All that said the Falcons are the CCHA’s current first place team. They’ve played more games than the next teams down the list, and their sweep of St. Thomas, which was briefly in doubt until the Falcons scored twice in the final five minutes Saturday to earn that sweep, has them at the top.
