WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley is in the middle of a six-game road swing and the longest trip of this stretch comes this weekend when the Falcons head out to Colorado to take on Air Force. Friday's game gets underway at 9:05 pm eastern time and Saturday's game is a 7:05 pm start.

The trip so far

The six-game road swing began last Tuesday at AIC with a 4-2 defeat, but the Falcons responded with an emphatic 4-1 victory at UMass Lowell on Friday in the first game of the Turkey Leg Classic.

In the win, the Falcons owned a 40-15 shots advantage and received goals from four different skaters; Arlo Merritt, Kellan Hjartarson, Ryan Upson and Jonathan Bendorf.

That set up a final of the in-season tournament with Merrimack on Saturday. The Falcons held a 3-1 lead in the 2^nd period after goals by Nik Armstrong-Kingkade, Matt Thomson and Chase Davis, but the Warriors rallied with three unanswered goals for a 4-3 victory.

The Falcons play the fourth and fifth games of the road trip this weekend at Air Force, and the sixth and final game is against Maine on Dec. 9.
