PRINCETON - The Princeton men's hockey team continues its stretch run to the postseason at home this weekend when Colgate and fifth-ranked Cornell visit Hobey Baker Rink for a pair of ECAC games.

Princeton enters the weekend winners of three games in a row for the first time this season and off the heels of its first weekend sweep of the season after winning at Harvard and Dartmouth last weekend. The sweep gave Princeton a three-win week and moved Princeton within a game of .500 for the first time since mid-November. The Tigers are also 6-2-1 in their last nine dating back to a mid-December win at UMass Lowell.

After a Monday win over Connecticut, the Tigers took to the road last weekend and came away with wins at Harvard and Dartmouth. Dan Bartlett, Princeton's leading scorer opened the scoring on both nights, as Princeton never trailed over the weekend. On Friday, Harvard drew even with a second period power-play goal but Marc Hagel scored the game winner late in the second as Princeton claimed the 2-1 win. Zane Kalemba sealed the win for the Tigers as 13 of his 34 saves came in the third period under Harvard pressure.
