White Bear Lake at Park Cottage Grove 7:30PM
This game features the top of the SEC versus the bottom. White Bear Lake will look to stay undefeated and on top with a win over the last place Wolfpack. Park tied Cretin last SEC outing and are coming off a Tuesday win over Eastview tallying 11 goals over the two games. The Bears keep rolling along and will come out with an easy victory on the road.

Stillwater at Woodbury 7:30PM
Stillwater has rattled off five straight wins to keep a solid hold on 2nd place in the conference. The Ponies are playing very well in front of their own net, only allowing 9 goals during the win streak and scoring some timely goals. Woodbury enters the game on a two game losing streak, but the Royals have found stability in the nets and will keep this one close. Look for a typical SEC low scoring game with the Ponies winning by a goal.

East Ridge at Cretin 7:30PM
The Raiders pulled off the big upset Tuesday defeating the defending state champion Edina Hornets. I don’t look for Cretin to have a letdown against East Ridge as they will look to avenge an earlier loss to the Raptors. East Ridge has only one win its last eight games; chances are it will be one win in its last nine.

Forest Lake at Hastings 7:30PM
Hastings pounded Forest Lake in their last meeting 5-1, since then the Raiders have gone 2-6-1 and have given up too many goals to win with any consistency. Forest lake meanwhile is coming off a 5-0 nothing shutout loss to Duluth East, they have won two in a row in conference play to sit in a 3rd place tie with Roseville. Too much travel for the Rangers this week, I’ll take Hastings in an upset.

Roseville at Mounds View 7:30PM
Roseville continues to search for more offensive production; they are averaging fewer than 3 goals a game on offense, the good news is they only give up a hair over 2 goals a game. They have yet to be beaten by more than 2 goals this season but the lack of offense gives them very little room for error. The Mustangs are in a win one, lose one, and tie one mode as they continue to struggle to put a win streak together. Roseville will bump that goals per game average up with a win in the Shoreview ice box.

That would be great, I'm a fan of them, too. I'd do them for East's conference, but, uh...

7 to 6 we lost. Looks like a five or even six seed.

Final
Roseville 2
Mounds View 2
The Mustangs score the tying goal with 16 seconds left in the 3rd and the goalie pulled. Roseville dominated play throughout with a steady forecheck but once again could only put 2 on the board. Mounds View shows some late game magic again.

Stillwater 2
Woodbury 1
Final
The Ponies defense continues to keep ooponents from scoring and getting quality shots. The Royals goaltending keeps it close in another low scoring SEC affair.

Final
Hastings 7
Forest Lake 6
Both teams top lines produced in a rare high scoring SEC contest. Forest Lake gave up 4 3rd period goals to suffer the setback. Lots of travel the last few days for the Rangers.

Final
White Bear Lake 4
Park Cottage Grove 1
The Bears win without a point from their top line and stay on top of the conference.

East Ridge at Cretin??

Sad to read the story about Park's top player. (Hockey Hub) Tough way to end your high school career.

Final
Cretin 8
East Ridge 2
Revenge for earlier season loss in a big way, Raiders top line comes through with 11 points on the night. No hangover affect for Cretin after defeating Edina on Tuesday.
