Just over month remains in the 2021-22 NAHL regular season as most teams have just a dozen games remaining.

The NAHL saw four more NCAA commitments this past week, bringing the current season total to 203 NCAA commitments for the 2021-22 season.

This weekend in the Central Division, the red-hot Bismarck Bobcats put their seven-game winning streak on the line as they continue their climb towards a playoff spot in Aberdeen against the Wings. The Minot Minotauros, who are tied with Aberdeen for 2^nd place, are in St. Cloud to take on the 1^st place Norsemen. In the final series, it is crunch time for North Iowa and Austin, who battle in a home-and-home series with the final playoff spot in the division at stake.

In the East Division, the race for the final playoff spot continues this weekend as the 4^th place Northeast Generals put their four-game winning streak on the line as they host Danbury. Two points back of the Generals for the final playoff spot reside the Jamestown Rebels, who will be in Maryland for a series against the Black Bears.

The two teams play again on Friday and Saturday. The Springfield Jr. Blues take to the road to try and slow down the hottest team in the NAHL, the Janesville Jets, who have won 10 straight games and sit in 3^rd place in the division.
