WTOP 10 and cable access 96 will televise the game with coverage beginning at 6:30.The Bears will come in 24 hours removed from a 4-2 victory in Cortland.

The Cardinals destroyed the Bears 11-1.
The Lakers are coming off a disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of rival Plattsburgh. The red birds are now 2-0 at the Campus Center Ice Arena, and are unbeaten in their last five meetings with the Lakers. Freshman Josh Chamberlain will make his Oswego State debut tonight.
Potsdam was picked to finish sixth in this season's SUNYAC pre-season coaches poll. The top six SUNYAC finishers qualify for the conference tournament. The bears are coming off of a 5-19-1 season which saw coach Glenn Thomaris announce his resignation. Thomaris spent five seasons with Potsdam after 14 years with Elmira. He achieved his 300th coaching victory while coaching the Bears.
Potsdam's leading scorer from a year ago, Ryan McCarthy, has graduated. Looking to fill the void are sophomores Connor Treacy and Luke Beck. The second-year pivots finished second and third on the team in scoring respectively. Beck lit the lamp in the second minute of last night's game in Cortland.
