However, that doesn't mean some of the best-ranked matchups aren't already happening, as top teams faced off this past week.

Due to those results, there were also slight shifts in this week's rankings; here is everything you need to know about them.

The BC Eagles Continue Soaring

• In the final game of the regular season, Boston College men's hockey shut out Merrimack in a 6-0 game on its home ice.
• The dominant win surely confirmed that BC would finish the regular season as the top team in the rankings going into the conference championships.
• This week, the Eagles are beginning the Hockey East conference tournament with the quarterfinals on March 15th.

Maine Moves Into The Top Three

• Last week, the Bears were ranked at No. 5 after winning two games over Vermont; in these rankings, Maine has moved up two spots to No. 3.
• The most significant result that allowed it to happen was Minnesota's loss to Notre Dame in the Big Ten Quarterfinals after losing two out of three games on the weekend.
• Maine hopes to avoid a similar upset when it begins the quarterfinals for the Hockey East conference this Saturday, March 15th.

Defending Champions Gearing Up For Another Run

• 2024 National Champions, Denver men's hockey finishes the season at No. 9 and wins over Colorado College to close out the weekend.
• The Pioneers will play Colorado College again in the NCHC Frozen Faceoff quarterfinals, this time in an effort to win their third national championship in four years.
• With another national title, Denver would extend its lead for the most national championships, which they broke the record last year, winning its 10th.
