\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

It was a tough weekend for New York Rangers forward prospect Ty Henricks<\/a> and the Western Michigan Broncos. The 2025 National Champions began the weekend ranked No. 5 in the country. But two losses later, they dropped one spot to No. 6.<\/p>\n

Henricks was one of seven Rangers prospects to take part in NCAA action last weekend.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check in on each one.<\/p>\n

Rangers tools<\/p>\n

Ty Henricks (Western Michigan)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henricks was held without a point Friday in Western Michigan\u2019s 3-2 loss to top-ranked Michigan, and fellow Rangers forward prospect Malcolm Spence<\/a>. Henricks, a junior, recorded two shots on goal while playing left wing on the Broncos third line.\u00a0Michigan scored the game-winning goal with 0.1 seconds to play in regulation.<\/p>\n

He was pointless again Saturday when Western Michigan lost 4-0 to No. 6 Wisconsin in an exhibition.<\/p>\n

Henricks is tied for second<\/a> on Western Michigan with 17 shots on goal through five games. He\u2019s scored two goals, added an assists, and is plus-2.<\/p>\n

Malcolm Spence (Michigan)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spence earned a secondary assist on Friday in that 3-2 victory. His assist came on Michigan\u2019s second goal, scored 1:05 into the third period to give the Wolverines a 2-1 lead.\u00a0It was Michigan\u2019s only game of the week, and they retained their top raking in the nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hulking sophomore is averaging better than a point per game, with eight points (four goals, four assists) in seven games for the undefeated Wolverines.<\/p>\n

Ben MacBeath (Denver)<\/p>\n

Ben MacBeath<\/a> did not record a point this past weekend, when defending NCAA champions Denver posted a win and a tie against No. 17 Boston College in non-conference play. Elevated to the second defense pair on the left side, MacBeath recorded three shots on goal and finished plus-2 in a 5-2 victory on Friday<\/p>\n

Denver and Boston College played to a 2-2 tie Saturday after overtime. MacBeath did not record a shot on goal.<\/p>\n

Denver entered last week ranked No. 4 and moved up one spot third overall this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

E.J. Emery (North Dakota)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not a great week for E.J. Emery<\/a> nor North Dakota, when they were swept by previously winless Minnesota. On Thursday, North Dakota surrendered four goals in the third period and lost 5-3. Emery recorded two shots on goal, finished minus-1, and took a roughing minor in the first period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Dakota lost 5-3 again to Minnesota on Friday. As he did Thursday, Emery took a roughing minor in the first period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Dakota out-shot Minnesota 45-22 Friday but still lost. They entered the week No. 3 in the NCAA rankings and dropped all the way to eighth this week.<\/p>\n

Charlie Morrison (UConn)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charlie Morrison<\/a> and No. 16 UConn let a two-goal third-period lead slip away Thursday before defeating No. 17 Boston College 5-4 in overtime. The game was the Hockey East opener for both teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morrison did not record a point nor a shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UConn traveled to No. 14 Boston University for a Hockey East game Saturday and lost 6-3. Morrison was held without a point nor a shot and finished minus-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean Barnhill (Michigan State)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean Barnhill<\/a> did not record a point last weekend in two games against New Hampshire, and has one assist in five games this season. <\/p>\n

No. 2 Michigan State was upset 1-0 by unranked New Hampshire in nonconference play Friday, manging just 14 shots total, and not reaching double figures until the third period.<\/p>\n

The Spartans bounced back to win 2-1 Saturday and split the weekend series. They dropped two spots to No. 4 in the NCAA rankings.<\/p>\n

Raoul Boilard (Lake Superior State)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raoul Boilard<\/a> and Lake Superior State lost their CCHA opener 5-2 to Bowling Green on Friday. Boilard was held without a point, recorded one shot on goal, finished minus-1 and was 8 of 14 face-offs.<\/p>\n

After starting the season as the Lakers\u2019 first-line center, Boilard moved to the third line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Superior State lost to Bowling Green 4-2 Saturday. Boilard was again pointless on three shots, finishing plus-1. He won 7 of 12 face-offs while centering the third line again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boilard has three assists in six games this season.<\/p>\n
