MSU lost today to Wisconsin 3-0. Needless to say, that stopped DeBlouw's point streak at 3 games.

----------

While Hickey is at the Team Canada camp, BU did something no other team in the NCAA has been able to do this season: They handed Quinnipiac their first loss of the season.

Quinnipiac's loss means that Providence will celebrate Christmas as the only undefeated team left standing in NCAA Hockey.

As much as BU has struggled this season, after going all the way to the National Championship game last year, they've put up strong performances against the top two teams in the country. Providence only has 3 ties on the season, and 2 came against BU. Now, they've given Quinnipiac their first loss. Providence and Quinnipiac have a combined record of 27-1-5 and 3 of those 6 non-wins were against BU.

BU now has an incredibly long Christmas break, so even if Hickey makes Team Canada, he should only miss one or two BU games coming back. The Gold Medal game is on January 5 in Finland, and BU's next game is January 7 in Boston.
