As finals have begun, the Princeton men’s hockey team is now getting some much-needed rest before its next game. After suffering three straight losses on home ice, Princeton (13-5-0 overall, 8-4-0 ECAC Hockey) looks to rebound in its out-of-conference showdown against Robert Morris (4-11-4) at Baker Rink on Jan. 26.

“We were absolutely tired [during the last two games against Union and Rensselaer],” head coach Guy Gadowsky said. “Some of it was beyond our control in the fact that we don’t have enough healthy bodies to put out a full long. There were a lot of guys double-shifting, and, to play the way we play, double-shifting is difficult.”

In fact, the Tigers have not had enough forwards to make four offensive lines for the last two games. Still, following the losses to Union and RPI, the team has almost two weeks off to focus on exams and return to full health. The upcoming game against Robert Morris will be the Tigers’ only chance to show that they have regained their early-season form before the last series of conference games kicks off the following weekend.
