No. 7 Providence (Hockey East) vs. No. 2 Wisconsin * (WCHA)
No. 6 Boston College (Hockey East) vs. No. 3 Ohio State (WCHA)

Last year's NCAA championship was canceled by COVID-19. Wisconsin, the 2019 NCAA champion, and Minnesota-Duluth have both earned five previous national championships apiece, the only schools in this year's field to have won an NCAA title.
