In the Pipeline: 10/22/2018

It was a good week for Quinnipiac hockey as they are off to their first 3-0 start since the 2015-2016 season after beating UConn in its home opener 4-2 followed by a 1-0 shutout win over 18th ranked Boston College.  The start by Quinnipiac has propelled them back into the rankings. They are 20th in the USCHO.com poll, 15th in the USA Today poll and 3rd in the ever important pairwise rankings. All in all its been a great start to what we all hope will be a turnaround season. Now let's take a look at how some future Bobcats did over the past week.
