Osseo-Maple Grove cruses into the Gobbler with an 11-2 record and riding a six-game winning streak. Both of the Leafbirds' losses this season have been by one goal, falling to Roseville and Edina Green by 2-1 scores.

Lakeville South, ranked No. 22 in the YHH NOW Rankings, is on a streak of its own, piling up five consecutive wins prior to the start of the tournament. Among those victories is a signature upset, with the Cougars defeating No. 4 Hastings 6-2. 

Minnetonka has a sparkling 9-3-1 record, but the Skippers have gone 2-2 in their last four and will look to right the ship in Bloomington. If the Skippers do get back on a winning streak, it will likely come down to defense, as the team has not allowed more than three goals in a single game this season.

White Bear Lake had its seven-game winning streak snapped in a 7-1 loss to Forest Lake. The Bears also happen to specialize in defense, allowing just 1.72 goals-per-game.
