The Razorbacks (6-0-0) increased their win streak to six games after besting Pacific Region rival Kansas (2-2-0) twice this past weekend to remain undefeated. On Friday night, Kansas jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Evan Kerr, Cameron McAtee, and Alex Kueser would score for Arkansas in the final nine minutes of the first period. Kansas would tie the game 3-3 early in the 2nd period, but Arkansas retook the lead on a goal by Chris Salmon. Starting the 3rd period with a narrow 4-3 lead, the Ice Hogs would put the game away thanks to goals by Chris Stovall and Evan Kerr. The final score of game one was 6-3. Goaltender Jozef Dusenka earned his third win in as many starts, saving 22 of 25 shots.

Saturday the Hogs looked to complete the sweep. The first period saw a defensive battle as Kansas held the lead 1-0 after twenty minutes. But the flood gates opened in the 2nd period as the Hogs scored four goals in the first nine minutes of the period. Zach Wilson collected two goals, Trevor McLain scored a shorthanded goal, and Alex Kueser added one as well. Kansas came back to score two goals of their own, but Chris Stovall scored off a rebound and Shaun Foster recorded his first goal as a Razorback. Those offensive efforts gave the Hogs a 6-3 lead headed to the final period. In the third period, Chris Salmon scored the seventh and final goal for the Razorbacks, finishing off a 7-3 victory and the sweep. Alex Kalmes also collected his third win of the season, turning away 26 of 29 shots.
