With a pre-Thanksgiving victory under its belt, the men’s hockey team looks to continue its solid performance in conference play this weekend with games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence. The Tigers (5-4 overall, 5-2 ECAC Hockey) host the Golden Knights (7-5-2, 2-2-1) on Friday at 7 p.m. and the Saints (2-7-3, 2-3) on Saturday at 5 p.m. to open a four-game homestand after having won five of their last six games.
“It is always nice to play at home in front of friends and family,” senior forward Mike Kramer said. “Hobey Baker has a great atmosphere. It’s always an honor to play in such a historic building named after arguably the best college hockey player in NCAA history.”
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Princeton topped Quinnipiac by taking advantage of solid special-teams play, which the Tigers were stressing after a poor showing on power plays in a tight loss to Dartmouth. Senior defensemen Cam Ritchie and Taylor Fedun both scored on power plays, and senior forward Kevin Lohry scored an empty-netter in the final minute.
