Just four games remain in the regular season for the men’s hockey team, and it is in an unfamiliar place: second.
The Elis (20–5, 14–4 ECAC), who had led the ECAC in winning percentage since the first game of the season, slipped into second place last weekend by a single point when they fell to St. Lawrence. Despite a win the next night, the loss left Yale just 3–3 in its past six games. The Bulldogs will look to reprise their winning ways when they travel to Quinnipiac (13–12–5, 6–8–4) Friday night and then to New Jersey for a rare Sunday afternoon game at Princeton (14–9–2, 9–7–2).
Yale’s replacement atop the conference standings is surging No. 7 Union, winner of seven straight and eleven of its last twelve. The Dutchmen now need only to win their remaining four games to guarantee themselves the regular season championship, which Yale has won for the past two consecutive years. Despite the chance of missing out on the Cleary Cup, the Elis insist they have other priorities in mind.
