Princeton Loss

Sorry for delay in getting this up, just about now getting over a really nasty flu bug that kind of wiped me out.

Princeton picked up just its third overall win at Cheel Arena with an impressive 4-2 outing Saturday.

Here were the 5 key points prior to the game:

Special teams: Clarkson only had two power-play opportunities and was scoreless on both. Princeton had six power-play chances, scoring one with an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Good first period: Clarkson had been outscored 12-7 in first periods this year and fell in another hole when Princeton's Mark Magnowski scored 6:28 into the contest. Worse, the Golden Knights were outshot 19-4 in the opening 20 minutes.

Improve defense - this didn't happen as the Tigers sent 47 shots on Paul Karpowich.

Reclaim home ice - enough said.

Get Guthrie going - only one shot, but still feel like he's due for a breakout game.
