Back on its home ice for the first time in three weeks, the men’s hockey team will host two conference rivals this weekend at Baker Rink. On Friday night, Princeton (3-7-1 overall, 2-5 ECAC Hockey) will take on the last-place team in the conference, Rensselaer (3-10, 1-4). The following afternoon, the Tigers will face off against No. 9 Union (7-3-3, 3-2), which is two points ahead of Princeton in the ECAC standings and has played two fewer games.
Last year, RPI defeated the Tigers 5-2 in the first meeting, but the Orange and Black got revenge with a 4-3 victory later in the season. Union topped Princeton twice last year, peppering the Tigers’ net in both meetings, which ended at 7-4 and 5-0.
“Both of these games are important for the conference,” head coach Bob Prier said. “It is nice to be back at home on Baker. We have been on the road a lot, and it is time to start making up for the mishaps from earlier in the season. The best time to do it is back on our home ice this weekend.”
