HAMDEN, Conn. - The Rensselaer men's hockey team scored two

shorthanded while the third was on the power play. Sophomore
Jordan Watts broke the ice at 3:19, followed by a goal by Marty
O'Grady (on a different penalty kill) just over two minutes
later. Junior Joel Malchuk put the visitors ahead by three
goals with a rebound goal off a shot by Polacek. RPI's
leading scorer, Polacek had helpers on all three second period
tallies.
Quinnipiac got on the board at 4:49 of the third period but
Rensslear junior Bryan Brutlag got that goal back with an
unassisted, empty net effort with just one minute remaining in
regulation.

in the first period, 13 in the second and nine in the third
period. On the other end, the Bobcats saw two goalies combine
for 11 saves.
