The Harvard men’s ice hockey team has been used to skating as the underdog for most of its current four-game unbeaten streak.

After a disappointing 2-10-2 start, the resurgent Crimson (5-10-3, 5-5-3 ECAC) will see if it can handle the pressure of being the favorite when it squares off with ECAC and Ancient Eight foe Princeton (7-10-2, 3-8-1) Friday night at the Bright Hockey Center.

After failing to get back-to-back victories through its first 14 games of the season, Harvard put together a three-game winning streak that included wins over No. 6 Yale and No. 18 Union. The Crimson followed this streak with a dramatic comeback at Rensselaer, in which Harvard scored three goals in the third period to draw, 3-3.
