If it ain't broke, don't fix it

As expected, UMass coach Don Cahoon is sticking with his regular lines for the semifinals of the Hockey East playoffs against UNH. The Wildcats blew out the Minutemen, 5-1, the last time Cahoon tried to make his lineup top-heavy to counter UNH's dynamic top-two lines. Here's what the coach said on Wednesday about his lines:

There might be a couple of things that we do, but one of the advantages of our lines being arranged the way they have been as of late is that there is more balance in the lineup and I don’t have to be as concerned about mismatches as maybe I was when I tried to stack a line one way or another.
