According to 1994 NCAA Ice Hockey Handbook, under Championship Structure,
Division II:
 
   "...The format will consist of a two-game series with a 'minigame'
   tiebreaker system, if necessary."
 
I can't find anything else about a minigame series, except it is listed
as the DIII first round tie-breaker (but there they don't even say that
it is a two-game series).
 
I'll have to keep hunting for the answer....
