NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The No. 11 Bulldogs (4-2-2, 2-1-2 ECAC) don't have much time to digest their holiday meals with a tough, non-league road trip that goes to Worcester and then to Burlington. Yale, coming off an 8-2 win over Sacred Heart last Tuesday, takes on Holy Cross (4-7-2, 4-5-2 AH) on Saturday at 2 p.m. before battling Vermont (4-5-1, 3-4-1 HE) on Monday at 7 p.m. Both games can be seen live through video streams from the official websites for the two schools.

Crusaders-Bulldogs
Yale began skating against Holy Cross during the 1946-47 season and has a 3-0 record against the team from Worcester, the hometown of Yale head coach Keith Allain. The last meeting was the first as a Yale head coach for Allain on Oct. 27, 2006, a 2-1 Bulldog win.

Cats-Dogs
The Catamounts handed Yale a 4-1 loss in the NCAA East Regional at Bridgeport last March in the latest meeting. UVM and Yale began facing each other in 1975-76 and the Elis have a 26-24-4 edge in the series.
