Just two weeks remain until the USA Hockey trading deadline, roster freeze and cut off for spots in the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament.
With that said, this weekend has 22 games on the slate, so there is plenty of opportunity for teams to move up in the standings and for players to continue to make their impression.
With the season almost two-thirds in the books, time is of the essence in the scramble to make the Robertson Cup Playoffs.
