You know what they say, defense wins championships. And as the
postseason approaches, not many people are touting Dartmouth as a
championship contender, but what they’ve done over the last
four weeks is serving notice to some of the other teams that might
have to deal with the Big Green in the playoffs.
Some of the numbers worth noting - in Dartmouth’s last eight
games, the teams have combined to score at least six goals, and the
average number of goals in those games is 8.5.The Big Green ranked
10th in conference scoring prior to the streak and is currently
fifth in the league with a 3.15 goals-per-game average.
The Big Green is a respectable 3-3-2 in those eight games
including wins over top-four teams Cornell and Rensselaer in
dramatic fashion. That .500 clip gives Dartmouth a bit of momentum,
and counts for half of its six victories in ECAC Hockey play, as
they currently stand 11th with a 6-12-2 record in the league.
