This is it — or might be it. Depending on the outcome of this weekend’s games, the Class of 2010 — the winningest class in the history of the men’s hockey program — may be playing its final games at Baker Rink.

Princeton (11-13-3 overall, 7-11-2 ECAC Hockey) will square off against perennial rival No. 5 Yale (16-8-6, 10-4-4) tonight before taking on resurgent Brown (8-15-4, 6-10-4) on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers are currently tied with the Bears for ninth place in the ECAC Hockey standings, while the Elis sit in first.

To earn a home playoff series, the Orange and Black must jump to at least eighth place in the league rankings. Both Princeton and Brown have 16 points in conference play, while seventh-place Quinnipiac has 18, and eighth-place Harvard has 17.
