Like Miami, Nebraska-Omaha has been going through the meat grinder that is the NCHC schedule.

The Mavericks are 2-6 in their last eight vs. Nos. 3, 20, 5 and 8 the past month.

These teams split when they played at Baxter Arena in what was Miami’s first true set of road games this season.

BoB takes a look at the upcoming series between these teams:

WHO: Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks (8-16-2) at Miami RedHawks (9-15-4).

WHERE: Cady Arena (3,642), Oxford, Ohio.

WHEN: Friday – 6:35 p.m.; Saturday – 7:05 p.m.

ALL-TIME SERIES: Miami leads, 21-18-6.

TV: Friday – CBS College Sports (DirecTV Ch. 221).

OMAHA RADIO: Both nights – KZOT-AM (1180), Bellevue, Neb.

MIAMI RADIO: Both nights – WKBV-AM (1490), Richmond, Ind.

NOTES: Not much has changed for the Mavericks since Miami headed to Omaha in early November.

UNO has allowed 99 goals in 26 games – 3.8 per contest – and opponents average 35 shots vs. the Mavericks.

Nebraska-Omaha has not had the offensive firepower to compensate for its lack of defense.

Goalie Evan Weninger has played in 25 games and has a 3.58 goals-against average and a save percentage of .900, which is modern-day hockey’s equivalent of the Mendoza line.

Both backups have struggled in their brief looks between the pipes.

Omaha has four major scoring threats up front, with Fredrik Olofsson and Mason Morelli holding the top two spots in the league.

Olofsson, a senior, has 91 career points and a 10-20-30 line this season, as he also leads all UNO skaters in assists.

Classmate Morelli is tied for third in the NCAA with 17 goals, including seven on the power play. His 12 helpers give him 29 points for the season.

Zach Jordan has added goals on the man-advantage and is 7-16-23, and Taylor Ward is having an outstanding freshman year, scoring seven times and adding 15 assists for 22 points.

But no other Maverick forward has more than 12 points.

On defense, junior Dean Stewart has broken out with four goals and 15 assists after posting just 12 points his first two seasons combined, all on helpers.

Ryan Jones has nine assists, but no other UNO blueliner has more than four points.

The Mavericks’ lineup has been a revolving door, as just six skaters have dressed for all 26 games and 23 have played in 15 or more.

Nebraska-Omaha has been awful on the road, having lost six straight away games and going 1-10-1 overall off campus.

Miami is 0-10-4 in its last 14, tied for its second-longest winless streak in school history, and the RedHawks have lost eight straight.

Five of their last six losses have been by at least three goals, and they’ve been outscored, 26-5 in that span.

With UNO in seventh place in the NCHC, these are the most winnable games the RedHawks will play the rest of the season. Up after this are teams ranked fifth, seventh and eighth, and four of those six games will be on the road.

Miami is 1-6-1 in its last eight vs. the Mavericks and are winless in their last five. The RedHawks’ last win over UNO at Cady Arena was on Dec. 5, 2014.
