U of T is 13-2-7-0 (W-OTW-L-OTL) and in third place in the OUA standings, five points behind the Nipissing Lakers (13-3-3-3) and four points ahead of the Waterloo Warriors (11-2-7-2). The Blues have clinched home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs and will await the final games of the regular season this weekend to determine their quarter-final opponent.
 
The Blues are coming off a five-point weekend after defeating the Lakers in overtime and Laurentian Voyageurs at home this weekend.
