The tournament bracket is set:

- Suniev and UMass will travel to Fargo (you betcha) and play Minnesota on Thursday at 6:30pm MT (start time could be delayed if the earlier game runs long).
- Sergeev and Penn State are the host college for the regional in Allentown, so they will have a home crowd even though they're the bottom seed in their group. They will play Maine on Friday at 6:30pm MT (start time could be delayed if the earlier game runs long).
They need to win 2 games next weekend to make the Frozen Four. A loss will end their seasons and they could potentially sign with the Flames immediately after and join either the Flames or Wranglers to end the season (I suspect if they do sign, it would be to play with the Wranglers).
Both are eligible to return to college next season. Since it has been 4 years since Sergeev was drafted, he also has the option to announce he will be leaving college anytime after June 1 and become a UFA 30 days later.
