The men’s hockey team looks to keep the momentum from their best weekend of the season going as it faces ECAC Hockey rivals Harvard (3-3-3 overall, 2-3-2 ECAC Hockey) and Quinnipiac (9-6-3, 2-4-3) this weekend. Princeton (4-7-2, 3-5-1) is riding a three-game unbeaten streak, highlighted by its most recent game, a 3-3 tie against No. 10 Union.
For the first time this season, the Tigers will be playing a home and an away game on consecutive nights. First, the Crimson comes to town on Saturday to battle at Baker Rink at 4 p.m. Princeton will then travel to Connecticut to take on Quinnipiac, the team with which the Tigers usually travel.
This will be the second time the Tigers have faced both squads. In early November, the then-No. 19 Bobcats beat the Tigers 5-2 in the first game of the season at Baker Rink. Quinnipiac scored four goals on sophomore goaltender Sean Bonar on 31 shots, plus an empty-net goal, while holding the Tigers’ offense to two goals on 27 shots. Sophomore forward Matt Farris recorded assists on both goals but has yet to notch another point since that multi-point game.
