This is the third game in as many days for both teams, so there’s no telling what you’re going to get from either side. With that said, the Colgate Raiders have shown far and away more scoring depth, and that probably gives them the edge here. The Hartford Hawks can’t score, and that usually doesn’t improve on tired legs. Give me Colgate and whatever the line is.
