PRINCETON - The Princeton men's hockey team begins the stretch run to the ECAC postseason on the road this weekend at ECAC and Ivy rivals Harvard and Dartmouth. This weekend is the first of five consecutive league weekends to close the regular season.

Princeton emerged from its 15-day layoff for final exams on Monday night with an offensive outburst in an 8-1 win over Connecticut. Freshman Eric Meland led the charge with a five-point performance, registering a hat trick and added two assists, and five other Tigers recorded multiple points as Princeton produced its highest single-game goal total since the 1994-95 season.

Meland's career night doubled his offensive output of the season and he now has five goals and five assists for 10 points. Cam MacIntyre, who returned to the lineup after missing the previous eight games, scored two goals and added an assist while Mark Magnowski potted Princeton's first goal and added two assists. Fresman Michael Sdao also added two goals in the win.
