After notching 14 goals in its first weekend of competition, the men’s hockey team will look to keep its red-hot offense rolling when conference play begins tonight.

No. 5 Yale will open ECAC play this weekend with a pair of home games against Princeton (0–2–0, 0–0–0 ECAC) and crosstown rival Quinnipiac (4–2–0, 0–0–0). The Bulldogs kept the red light flashing with two wins in their first weekend back in action. The Blue (2–0–0, 0–0–0) beat Brown 7–4 in the season-opener and first round of the Ivy Shootout on Friday night before returning to Ingalls Rink to top Dartmouth 7–3 in the second round Saturday.

“It was a good weekend offensively,” said forward Brian O’Neill ’12, who tallied three goals and two assists in the games. “It’s going to be hard to duplicate that weekend, but I think obviously every game we have the opportunity to score seven goals.”
