Omaha is coming off a weekend sweep of then-(RV) Lindenwood, beginning with a 7-4 victory Friday before completing a two-goal comeback win in overtime on Saturday, 4-3, totaling 11 goals in the two games. The Mavericks were the first team to sweep the Lions this season.
Sean Tschigerl (Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada) scored Saturday's game-winner at 2:29 of overtime off an assist from Vincent Desjardins (Mirabel, Quebec, Canada). Freshman forward Logan Wormald (Langley, British Columbia, Canada) recorded his first collegiate goal late in the second period, helping spark the Mavericks comeback.
Parker Berge (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), contributed to each of Omaha's three regulation goals Saturday, finishing with three assists. The senior defenseman leads the Mavericks with six points through four games, recording two goals and four assists.
Freshman goaltender William Lacelle (Gatineau, Quebec, Canada) earned his first collegiate victory Saturday with 30 saves, stopping all nine shots faced in both the third period and overtime.
The Mavericks special teams rank among the nation's best, with Omaha tied for first nationally in penalty kill percentage at a perfect 100%, successfully killing off all 11 opponent power-play opportunities through their first four games of the 2026-27 season. The Mavericks power play also ranks ninth nationally among the 56 NCAA Division I programs currently included in the rankings.
No. 3 Denver enters the weekend after a 5-2 win and a 2-2 overtime tie against then-No. 18 Boston College. The Pioneers swept Alaska Anchorage to begin the season before dropping two games against Michigan. This weekend's matchup is also No. 3 Denver's first conference series of the season.
Following its road series at No. 3 Denver, Omaha returns to Baxter Arena for a two-game home series against St. Cloud State on Nov. 6-7 at Kemp Ice.
