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":"
