Omaha will be playing this weekend after all, although it will be in Denver instead of North Dakota.
The Mavericks and Pioneers will meet in a Saturday-Sunday series at Magness Arena after the National Collegiate Hockey Conference revised its schedule following the postponement of three of the league's weekend series due to COVID-19 protocols. Game time for both contests will be 7 p.m. (Central).
The switch is a part of a retooled conference schedule by the NCHC as it makes an effort to make up all originally scheduled games to complete a 96-game league slate. The Omaha-Denver series in Omaha, which was initially postponed last weekend until Feb. 4-5, will now take place on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at Baxter Arena on the weekend that the two sides were originally slated to play in Denver.
The Mavericks will now travel to North Dakota for a Friday-Saturday series on Feb. 4-5 instead.
