Goaltender Jeremy Smith has turned his season around since being traded to Niagara, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.37 goals against average and a .930 save percentage in his first five appearances with his new squad, while in collegiate action, Wisconsin captain Blake Geoffrion takes a three-game scoring streak into Saturday night's action with two goals and three assists over his last three contests. Geoffrion's 10 goals already tie his career-high set last season, despite missing three games in December with an injury.
