Daily desk pick

A short list from today’s NHL, PWHL, AHL, and college boards. The note under each game is why it is on the list: the published score, whether it is within a goal, the listing, and the clubs’ records. In the regular season it also uses division place, points back, streaks, and goal differential. This is not the full slate. Channel names are listings, not links.
