Here are the line-ups for Minnesota State and Ferris State in the first game of their WCHA series. Ferris State comes into the series leading the WCHA with 26 points, in just 14 games played, while the Mavericks are trying to tighten up the race. For more on the series and how it will affect the WCHA league title race, read our preview from earlier this week.
For Minnesota State:
Bryce Gervais - Matt Leitner - Zach Lehrke
Jean-Paul LaFontaine - Zach Stepan(NSH) - Teddy Blueger (PIT)

Brett Knowles - Jordan Nelson - Max Gaede(SJS)
Zach Palmquist - Carter Foguth

Not surprisingly, the Mavericks put their lines in a blender after struggling to find offense last weekend in Anchorage. Dylan Margonari moves to center, while Teddy Blueger plays the wing for the first time this season. Sean Flanagan returns to the line-up on defense in place of Blake Thompson.

Just some minor personnel changes for the Bulldogs from their last outing against Michigan Tech. Cory Kane slides in at forward in place of Seth Adams, while Travis White is in on defense in place of Sean O'Rourke.
