The next night saw Princeton surrender two more scores on the power play, as the Beavers downed the Tigers, 2-1.

St. Lawrence, meanwhile, went .500 over the weekend, dropping a 3-1 decision to No. 1 UNH before bouncing back to defeat UMass- Lowell, 3-2. Over the course of the two games, Saints' goaltenders combined for 52 saves on 57 shots. St. Lawrence now ranks second in the ECAC in scoring defense, with an impressive 2.14 goals allowed average.

Clarkson (4-8-3, 0-4-3) also split its two games this week. The Golden Knights rallied from behind to overtake UMass-Lowell, 6-4, on Friday, but were manhandled, 6-0, by UNH on Saturday.

The ECAC's top ranked team in the preseason coach's poll, Clarkson is still yet to post a victory in conference play. The Golden Knights currently occupy eleventh place in the ECAC standings, just one point ahead of last place Brown.

Eighth-place Union topped Niagara, 4-3, in its lone game of the weekend. ECAC Player of the Week Doug Christiansen connected on two power play goals, including the game winning score with just under four minutes left in the game, to lift the Skating Dutchmen (5-9-0, 3-3-0) over the Purple Eagles.

After dropping the first five games of the year, Union coach Kevin Sneddon '92 has led his squad to surprising victories in two of its last three games. The Skating Dutchmen will next face Providence on Dec. 29.

Lastly, Dartmouth came up short in both of its weekend match-ups. On Friday, the Big Green (2-5-2, 1-2-2) fell to Providence, 2-0, as the Dartmouth offense failed to muster a goal against Friars' goalie Boyd Ballard (30 saves).
