At 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14, CSB hosts the fifth-ranked Gusties at Ritschie arena in St. Cloud. CSB then travels to St. Peter on Saturday, Feb. 15, for a 2 p.m. puck drop.

Storyline
The College of Saint Benedict is coming into this weekend's games with a lot of momentum after beating St. Thomas thanks to a last-minute goal.

This is the second to last series in the regular season, as CSB wraps up the regular season against Saint Mary's on Feb. 21 and 22.
