Union split games against Princeton and Yale, knocking off the Tigers, 7-4, but falling to the Elis, 5-2. Trevor Koenig stopped 46 shots in the win for the Dutchmen, including 25 in the second period.

With two weekends to go, not one ECAC playoff spot is known for sure, and the final 24 regular-season games are sure to shake things up even more.

However, as long as Harvard wins but one of its final four games or one of a plethora of other things happens, the Crimson will be assured of a playoff spot.
