NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Yale men's hockey team (18-6-3, 14-4-2)
is on the road this weekend to finish off the 2009-10 regular
season. The No. 4/5 ranked Bulldogs, who have won six straight
games and are in first place by two points heading into the
weekend, get a tough final test with games at Princeton (11-13-3,
7-11-2) and Quinnipiac (15-15-2, 9-11-0). Friday's game at Baker
Rink starts at 7 p.m., while the puck drops at 7:30 Saturday at TD
Bank Sports Center. Both games can be heard live on WYBC (AM 1340,
wybc.com). Saturday night's contest is a live TV broadcast on
NESN.
STANDINGS
Yale owns a two-point lead over Cornell and Union with two games
left for everyone this weekend. All three teams could finish
anywhere from first to third and have clinched ECAC first-round
byes. The Elis, the only team that controls its own destiny among
the three, need two points to clinch the top spot. Quinnipiac could
end up as high as fifth and as low as 11th after the dust settles
on the weekend. The Bobcats need three points to clinch home ice
for the first round of playoffs. The Tigers are going to finish
somewhere between seventh and 11th.
LAST WEEKEND AT THE WHALE
Yale outshot opponents 110-47 last weekend while having a 12-9
scoring advantage with a conference sweep of St. Lawrence (7-5) and
Clarkson (5-4 OT). The Elis had to erase deficits in both games to
earn victories, but Saturday afternoon's game required three goals
in 51 seconds of the third when the Blue trailed 4-1. Broc Little,
who had a seven-point weekend, notched the tying tally and the
winner in OT on Senior Day and Youth Day at Ingalls Rink. On the
weekend, the Elis were 3-of-13 on the power play while allowing
four goals on 11 opposition chances.
