There are now only three ACC teams without a conference loss: Georgia Tech, Virginia, and SMU.

The Colorado Eagles have played only four games so far this season. All of them have been without starting goaltender Trent Miner, who has been with the Colorado Avalanche since day one. So the Eagles have had to resort to using their backup goaltenders, and one stands well above the other. Isak Posch has made […]
