Game Notes for YALE

Yale enters this weekend in eighth place with 13 points and is looking to host an ECAC Hockey Playoff Series in March. A couple of conference teams come to the Whale this week hoping to help prevent the Elis from reaching that goal. No. 16 Quinnipiac comes in Friday followed by Princeton on Saturday, a pair of 7 p.m. puck drops on ESPN+.


BULLDOGS
Corbin Kaczperski, who came up with a few amazing stops over his 49 saves last weekend, put the Bulldogs in position to win both games in the North Country but did not get enough support on the offensive side. Yale, which picked up one point, lost to No. 6 Clarkson 3-1 before skating to a 2-2 OT tie at St. Lawrence. Sophomore forward Curtis Hall leads the team with 13 goals, but did not find the net last week. He shares the team lead in points (15) with Justin Pearson and Tyler Welsh, both of whom scored goals in the North Country.

The Bobcats (16-9-1, 9-4-1) enter the weekend in third place in the ECAC with 19 points after winning four of their last five games. The team from Hamden is 7-0 in home conference games but 5-7-1 on the road overall while being outscored 41-28.

TIGERS
