Crothers, despite starting against a relatively weak Brown squad, may face significant offensive pressure. Jonas was forced to make 77 saves over the weekend, and Crothers may encounter difficulty if the Crimson's defense allows so many shots tonight.
"We are gonna play hard in front of Will," Capouch said. "Will has got to be confident enough to step in if he's needed."
Crothers did not seem at all fazed by the possibility of facing a barrage of shots.
"I am very confident in my defense," Crothers said. "I'm certainly looking forward to playing tonight; the nerves haven't set in yet."
The game starts tonight at 7. The Crimson will then face Vermont on Saturday in Burlington. Vermont (6-4-0, 4-0-0 ECAC) beat Harvard 5-3 early this season.
