Air Force (0-4) vs. RIT (3-1)

Thursday and Friday, 7:05 p.m., at Cadet Arena

Series: Air Force leads 32-21-4; the Falcons have won four in a row and 9 of 10. The teams split in the previous meeting at Cadet Arena in the fall of 2017.

Did you know: The Falcons and the Tigers have won 10 of the 13 AHC playoff championships?

Three things to watch

Turnovers – An otherwise strong effort by the Falcons vs. Arizona State on Saturday was torpedoed by turnovers that ended up in the back of the net.

Special teams – This should be a hard-fought game, and don’t be surprised if a power-play goal or a timely penalty kill decides it. The Tigers play a physical style and will take their share of penalties.

Shooting star – The Falcons need some forwards to rev up their offense, so it will be interesting to watch who brings the hot hand tonight.
