Last time: <\/b>11-7<\/p>\n

Overall: <\/b>33-27-2<\/p>\n

For much of ECAC Hockey, this is the last weekend of games before the holiday break. All games start at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 9 <\/b><\/p>\n

Union at Brown<\/b><\/p>\n

Union wasn’t at its sharpest last weekend, but still managed to score twelve goals en route to a road sweep of Princeton and Quinnipiac.  The Dutchmen shouldn’t have much problem with a Bears team that has struggled defensively this season. Union wins <\/b><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Princeton         <\/b><\/p>\n

The Bobcats own a 9-1-1 advantage in the last eleven meetings between these teams, and I don’t see that changing Friday.  Quinnipiac wins<\/b><\/p>\n

Clarkson at St. Lawrence<\/b><\/p>\n

This already heated rivalry game has a little more heat to it this year, as current St. Lawrence coach Mark Morris faces his former team for the first time. Both teams have been playing well lately; I’m giving the slight edge to the home team. St. Lawrence wins  <\/b><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at Yale     <\/b><\/p>\n

This might not be the Yale team of years past, but the Bulldogs should have enough to beat an RPI team that’s had a hard time getting wins. this season Yale wins                    <\/b><\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 10<\/b><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at Brown, 4 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s been a struggle for both of these teams, but RPI has at least showed an ability to score at time this season. Rensselaer wins <\/b><\/p>\n

Princeton at Quinnipiac, 4 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

The venue and start time may change from Friday, but I don’t think the result will. Quinnipiac wins <\/b><\/p>\n

Union  at Yale <\/b><\/p>\n

A young Bulldogs team might have trouble holding off the potent Dutchmen offense. Union wins <\/b><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Dartmouth, 7:05 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Wildcats have been fairly steady lately, while Dartmouth has one win in the last month. New Hampshire wins <\/b><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Dec. 13:<\/b><\/p>\n

Massachusetts at Princeton  <\/b><\/p>\n

Neither team has done a lot to inspire a lot of confidence thus far this season, but the Tigers have three wins in their last four games. Princeton wins <\/b><\/p>\n

 Yale at Boston University, 7:05 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

A win against the Terriers would be quite the upset for the Bulldogs, but I don’t see it happening. Boston University wins <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
