M. Hockey Has Chance for Five-Point Lead in ECAC

St. Lawrence is in a three-way tie for fifth-place in the ECAC. The Saints trail Harvard by only four points.

In addition, St. Lawrence is coming off of last weekend's impressive 6-6 tie with No. 4 Wisconsin.

And because, they play Brown, also an ECAC foe tonight, a victory over Harvard plus a win against the Bears could give the Saints a share of the league lead.

"St. Lawrence is a strong offensive team," Moore said. "We need to play solid defensively, wait for our opportunities, then attack."

In addition to a strong offensive attack, the Saints boasts the league's best scoring defense, holding competitors to a league-best measly 2.00 goals per game. They have allowed only 14 goals in nine games.

The Crimson sports a decent scoring defense, holding league foes to only 2.36 goals per contest.

Much of St. Lawrence's defensive mite can be attributed to the play of freshman goaltender Derek Gustafson.

Gustafson is second in the league for both save percentage and goals-against average, with a stunning .947 and 1.62 averages, respectively.
