Miami continues a four-game road swing with a trip to Minnesota Duluth to take on the Bulldogs. The RedHawks (7-13-2, 1-10-1 NCHC) are coming off a pair of losses at then-No. 18 Colorado College by scores of 2-1 and 4-2. UMD (8-11-4, 4-7-1 NCHC) split a weekend series at then-No. 11 Western Michigan, winning 6-3 and then losing 5-2.

This weekend's games are set for Friday, Jan. 26 and Saturday, Jan. 27, with puck drop at 8:07 p.m. ET both nights. The games will be streamed on NCHC.tv, and Greg Waddell's radio broadcasts will be available on WKBV 1490 AM (Richmond, Ind.).

The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 30-7-4. Miami has earned two wins and two ties in the past seven meetings. In a November 2023 series in Oxford, the teams skated to a 3-3 tie on Friday with UMD winning the next night 3-1.

Matthew Barbolini (9-12-21) is averaging a point per game but missed the most recent contest due to injury. PJ Fletcher (10-9-19) leads the RedHawks in goals. Logan Neaton is 6-10-2 in net and owns a 3.06 GAA and .901 save % in 18 starts. With Neaton out last week against Colorado College, Bruno Bruveris (1-3-0 2.91 GAA, .901 save %) made his third and fourth starts of the campaign.

Albin Nilsson and head coach Chris Bergeron met with the media this week to preview the upcoming matchup against the Bulldogs.
