The Illini will play their first postseason game on Saturday in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament playoffs against Ohio University in Champaign at 7:30 p.m. This tournament is crucial for Illinois, as the winner gets an automatic bid to the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division I national tournament. The tournament kicks off Friday with a game between Iowa State and Robert Morris. The winner of this game will play the top team in the conference, Lindenwood, on Saturday afternoon. The Illini are coming off a dominating weekend at home.
