DETROIT — Three and one-half weeks has passed since Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has played a hockey game but head coach Seth Appert says it's still important that the Engineers enter tonight's Great Lakes Invitational Hockey Tournament coming off a victory, rather than still mired in a five-game losing streak.

"Yeah, it is very important," Appert said after Monday's practice at downtown Detroit's famed Joe Louis Arena. "The guys feels a lot better about themselves."

The Engineers (9-9-1 overall) open the two-day tournament at 7:30 tonight against perennial power Michigan, which is not enjoying a great season to date at 9-9-0.
