ROAD WARRIORS

Michigan Tech has been on an impressive run during Western Collegiate Hockey Association road games since the beginning of last season. In 17 games played, the Huskies have won 12 and are unbeaten in 14. MTU went a ridiculous 11-1-2 on the road in league games during the 2014-15 season.

KERO MAKES NHL DEBUT

Michigan Tech and the Copper Country proudly watched as former MTU hockey player Tanner Kero made his National Hockey League debut with the Chicago Blackhawks last week in Winnipeg. Kero, who was the WCHA Player of the Year and a Hobey Baker finalist last winter, was called up to the Blackhawks after a fast start in the AHL.

LINE JUGGLING

The Huskies have been forced to play numerous different line combinations and defensive pairings during the first three weeks of the season because of injuries. Tech has dressed 24 of its 25 skaters thus far and has received point production from 79% of those who have made at least one appearance.

LEADING THE PACK

Senior forward Alex Petan enters the weekend with the sixth-most points among all active NCAA Division I men's hockey players with 106. Petan, who has notched double-digit goals in each of his three seasons with the Huskies, is one of just eight current NCAA players who have hit the 100-point mark during their careers. Petan's 106 points is the highest career total among all WCHA players. The 5-foot-9 winger from Delta, B.C., is currently tied for 55th on the all-time Michigan Tech points list.
