Miami Hockey hosts new NCHC member Arizona State for the first time in conference action this weekend. The RedHawks come in to the series at 3-19-2 (0-14-0 NCHC) after a pair of losses at then-No. 3 Western Michigan (8-3 and 2-0 scores). The No. 12/13 Sun Devils are 14-9-1 (9-5-0 NCHC) and split a pair of games in Tempe last weekend with then-No. 19 Colorado College (4-1 win, 5-4 loss).

This week's games are set for Friday, Jan. 31 and Saturday, Feb. 1 at Steve "Coach" Cady Arena. The puck will drop at 7:05 p.m. both nights. The contests will stream on NCHC.tv, with tape-delayed television coverage on Rock Entertainment Sports Network. Greg Waddell and Luke West Poley will also have a radio broadcast airing on WKBV 1490 AM (Richmond, Ind.) both days.

Colby Ambrosio (4-11-15) leads Miami in points and assists, while Matt Choupani (5-9-14), Ryan Sullivan (5-4-9) and Casper Nassen (5-3-8) share the team lead in goals. All three Miami goalies saw action last weekend: Ethan Dahlmeir (1-6-1, 3.82 GAA, .877 save %, started Friday), Bruno Bruveris (2-10-1, 4.02 GAA, .869 save %) and Brett Miller (0-3-0, 2.92 GAA, .907 save %, started Saturday).

Sullivan and head coach Anthony Noreen met with the media this week to preview the games against the Sun Devils.
