BOYS HOCKEY
Bemidji at Duluth East. Game Notes: The Class 2A/No. 14-ranked Greyhounds are 0-3, including overtime losses at 2A/No. 12 White Bear Lake, 4-3, and Tuesday at home against 2A/No. 15 Grand Rapids, 2-1. Duluth East will also visit 2A/No. 4 Wayzata at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, so a Greyhounds' victory tonight against the Lumberjacks could be important to avoid an 0-5 start.
Class 2A/No. 14 Grand Rapids at Duluth Marshall. Game Notes: The Thunderhawks (2-0) are heavy favorites against the Hilltoppers (1-0), who feature only four seniors.
