CBS SPORTS NETWORK GAMES ANNOUNCED
The first half of the NCHC schedule with CBS Sports Network offerings was release Dec. 29 and North Dakota will have one in the four announced games. UND's game at Denver on Jan. 15 will air on CBSSN with the final four weeks still yet to be determined. 

HOW WE GOT HERE....
The original start to the second half was to be a return trip to Omaha to face the Mavericks. Due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Omaha program, that series got moved to Jan. 29-30. The following week, Omaha was still saddled with COVID issues and forced the postponement of what would have been UND's home openers on Jan. 8-9. 

Colorado College's scheduled opponent for this week was rival Denver. The Pioneers were forced to sit with COVID issues, making CC and UND both with open dates. The teams decided to play Jan. 10-11 to replace their Feb. 12-13 series. 

THIS ONE GOES TO 11...
Jordan Kawaguchi had an assist on the second goal in the win over Colorado College Jan. 10 to give him a point in every game this season. His 11-game point streak is the longest in college hockey this season. 

COLLEGIATE DEBUT
Louis Jamernik made his NCAA debut in Sunday's win at Colorado College. He joined UND at the semester break and found himself in the lineup, centering the fourth line. 

WELCOME BACK
Without a game since Dec. 20, North Dakota was able to get some players on the mend and returned a pair of players from the IIHF World Junior Tournament. Harrison Blaisdell played in his first game since going down with an injury Dec. 6 while other players were able to use the time to get back to 100 percent. Tyler Kleven and Jake Sanderson returned from Edmonton, where they were helping Team USA to a World Junior gold medal. They had missed the final seven games of the NCHC pod. 

WELCOME BACK (BIRTHDAY) PARTY
Kleven made his return on his birthday, and delivered himself a gift with a game-winning goal. Midway through the first, he blasted a shot past Matt Vernon to put UND on the board first and it held up as Adam Scheel shut things down in net. It was Kleven's second collegiate goal (four games). 

COLLIN, COLLIN, COLLIN AND COLLIN
Senior Collin Adams has strung together four straight games with a goal after his tally in the second period in Sunday's win at Colorado College. Adams now has five goals and six assists on the year with seven of those points coming during his current five-game point streak.
