Here’s a look at the weekend in ECAC Hockey:<\/p>\n
The Bobcats thrived under the spotlight of Madison Square Garden, building a 4-0 lead over No. 5 Harvard and shaking off the loss of that advantage to win 5-4 in overtime on Saturday night. If you needed another reason to think that Quinnipiac was not the dominant team in ECAC Hockey this season, Saturday’s win was your message in a bottle. The No. 2 Bobcats are 19-1-3 so far. With the fewest losses in the country and a goaltender, Michael Garteig, that continues to impress, it’s hard to imagine any team in the ECAC catching up in the next few months.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the coin, Harvard couldn’t make it all the way back for a win in Saturday’s game in New York. For a team that continues to seed high in the regular season rankings, Harvard’s 8-3-3 record is not exactly impressive and two losses to ranked opponents last week didn’t help its cause. Comparatively, Cornell continued to impress, knocking off formerly ranked Merrimack twice.<\/p>\n
The Big Green entered the new year with a 3-7-1 record as one of the bottom-feeders in the ECAC. But 11 days into January, Dartmouth has gone 3-1 in its last four games, including a 3-0 victory against Merrimack and a low-scoring, 1-0 loss to Vermont. Union has enjoyed a similar resurgence, going 4-1-1 in its last six games with victories over Massachusetts, Merrimack and Vermont and a 4-4 tie with Princeton. While first halves haven’t been kind to these two programs, it’ll be interesting to see what they can do in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
