Blake is 2nd in goals w/ 7, Jamie leads in assists w/ 11 and Brendan is 4th w/ 7.

Blake also leads in PP goals w/ 5, Brendan is tied for 2nd w/ 3.

This weekend's games:

Wisconsin @ St. Cloud - to stay on track for .500 by Christmas the Badgers need a split
CC @ UAA - CC is nearly unbeatable at home, but on the road I say its a split
Mankato @ Tech - 3 pts for the land cows
North Dakota @ Duluth - 3 pts for the Sioux
minnesota @ Denver - last week surprised me for both teams, how about a split
