- In 2019-20, the Mavericks were the only team to beat UND twice and the only visitor to win in Grand Forks, N.D.
- The Mavericks most recently played on Sunday, a 5-2 win over Denver that snapped a 19-game winless streak against the Pioneers. Taylor Ward had two goals and an assist to lead the attack.
- North Dakota enters the weekend in first place in the NCHC while the Mavericks are tied with Minnesota Duluth for third.
