- Riding a six-game winning streak, the fourthplace Falcons welcome RMU to Cadet Ice Arena for the first time since Nov. 16, 2013. Air Force has won seven straight games against the Colonials in the thin air of Colorado Springs - The Falcons maintained a slight edge (13-101) in the all-time series against the Colonials with a win and a tie at 84 Lumber Arena earlier this season. On Nov. 15, Air Force dealt RMU its first overtime loss in nearly four years, ending a 27-game unbeaten streak in extra time - Prior to its current surge up the Atlantic Hockey standings, Air Force endured a sixgame winless streak (0-5-1) that spanned the semester break. Since then, the Falcons have been one of the hottest teams in the nation, winning four one-goal games in the process - Air Force’s attack has shifted into a higher gear during the winning streak, scoring 3.83 goals per game and firing an average of 37 shots. The Falcons’ top line of Scott Holm, Chad Demers and Cole Gunner has been especially impactful this season, piling up 33 goals and 81 total points - After sophomore goalie Chris Truehl started the first 24 games of the season, freshman Connor Girard has gotten the call in the previous three. Girard has stopped 86 of 91 shots over that span, good for a .945 save percentage and a 1.25 goals-against average
