The men’s hockey team will make its way back to New York
this weekend for its final road trip of the regular season.
Princeton (10-12-3 overall, 6-10-2 ECAC Hockey) will face No. 16
Union (16-8-6, 10-4-4) in Schenectady, N.Y., tonight and will play
Rensselaer (16-13-3, 9-7-2) on Saturday. Both teams defeated the
Tigers in early January, so Princeton will be aiming for redemption
this weekend.
The Tigers’ previous trek to North Country was not as
successful as the team had hoped, as Princeton managed just one
point on the weekend after falling 4-3 to Clarkson and tying St.
Lawrence. Though the Tigers didn’t come away with a win, the
draw actually enabled them to wrest sole possession of ninth place
in the ECAC standings from Brown.
League cellar dweller Clarkson defeated the Tigers last Friday
thanks to a strong come-from-behind effort that coalesced early in
the third period. A pair of goals to start the frame erased the 2-1
Tiger lead that had been built by junior forward Mike Kramer and
senior forward Dan Bartlett. A man-advantage goal in the final
minute of regulation by sophomore defenseman Derrick Pallis was not
enough to overcome Clarkson, and the Golden Knights earned their
second league victory of the year.
