NEW HAVEN — Wins have been tougher to come by of late and on Monday the Yale men’s hockey team didn’t receive a single vote in the national polls for the first time in over three years.

But coach Keith Allain can’t find much to fault with the Bulldogs (8-7-2, 5-4-1), winner of only three of their last 10 games entering this weekend’s ECAC Hockey series with No. 12 Union (Friday, 7 p.m.) and Rensselaer (Saturday, 7 p.m.) at Ingalls Rink.

“I’m really pleased with the way we’re playing,” Allain said prior to practice Thursday. “I don’t think we got the result we deserved last weekend. As pleased as I am with the way we played last week, I’m more pleased with the way we approached this week at practice. Our guys were upbeat, they were positive, they were working. My expectation is that we’ll play great this weekend.”
