About Denver    
The Pioneers were idle last weekend and most recently skated to a non-conference win and tie against Providence back on Nov. 23-24.

Senior Jarid Lukosevicius (8-6--14) and freshman Emilio Pettersen (5-9--14) are tied for the team scoring lead, with Pettersen just one point off the NCHC rookie scoring lead.

They are two of six Pioneers to have already tallied 10 or more points on the season.
