Daunting schedule
In the second half of their WCHA regular-season schedule, the Gophers play the six teams ahead of them in the standings -- and ninth-place Alaska Anchorage in the 49th state, a hard road trip. That's the toughest remaining conference schedule any of the top seven teams have: Team Winning pct. of opponents 1. Minnesota .607, 82-50-18 2. Colorado College .582, 67-46-15 3. North Dakota .546, 66-54-11 St. Cloud State .546, 64-52-14 5. Wisconsin .539, 77-65-13 6. Denver .515, 61-57-13 7. UMD .469, 55-63-11
