The Crimson scored just 44 times in 22 league games last season, but they hope depth will provide more offense.
The Big Green return a higher percentage of last year’s goal-scoring and overall offensive production (98 and 99 percent, respectively) than any other team in ECAC Hockey.
Coach Mike Schafer says the Big Red needs the team’s returners and freshmen need to pick up the scoring pace.
The Raiders return 94 percent of their 2013-14 goals and 96 percent of their total offensive production.
The Golden Knights are picked for eighth after finishing in fifth last season.
The Bears return nearly 80 percent of their 2013-14 goal production and three-quarters of their scoring.

The Dutchmen first appeared in the Frozen Four two seasons ago and want to use that experience as a guide.
The Dutchmen answered a Providence goal after just 78 seconds in the East Regional final to clinch their second trip to the Frozen Four in three years.
The Bobcats were stymied, stalled and stonewalled at every turn against the surprising Friars, who handed Quinnipiac its first shutout of the season — and the first since last April’s soberingly similar 4-0 loss to Yale in the national title game.
The Dutchmen used a decisive counterpunch to beat Vermont in the East Regional semifinals.
Playing in its own back yard, Quinnipiac draws Providence The Bobcats will play the Friars for the second time this year, the teams tying 3-3 in Hamden in late November. After so much time, there will be little to glean from that result – it was the weekend after Thanksgiving, after all – but some … Read more
