Stat of the Night

Clarkson won its season opener, beating the Rochester Institute of Technology 6-4 on Friday night, coming back from a 2-0 deficit after one period. Clarkson scored four goals in the second period to build a 4-3 lead heading into the third period.

The win means Clarkson now has a 50-game unbeaten streak when it leads a contest after two periods (46-0-4). Clarkson was 14-0-1 last year when it led after two, 18-0-2 the year before and 12-0-1 the season before that.

The last time Clarkson lost a game when it had a lead after two periods was March 5, 2005, in the second game of a best-of-three ECAC Hockey League first-round series at Union. Clarkson led 1-0 heading into the third period of that game and went on to lose 2-1 in overtime. Clarkson won game three in overtime, after leading at the end of two periods, to start the current streak.
