POTSDAM — With exactly one month left in the regular season, the Clarkson University men’s hockey team is focused on earning a bye for the first round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs.
The top four teams in the 12-team conference get the first week of the playoffs off and host a quarterfinal series the following weekend, with the winner advancing to the semifinals in Atlantic City.
Clarkson (12-11-5 overall, 6-5-3) is in fourth place in the conference standings when going by win percentage. The Golden Knights are two points behind Colgate and Harvard, which are tied for third based on points. But Harvard has played two more games than the Golden Knights.
