The festivities for Sunday's NHL All-Star Game in Toronto features a
Canada vs. U.S.A. women's game, which will take place today at the Air
Canada Centre, and Shewchuk will play for Canada while Ruggiero is wearing
the stars and stripes. Both players will return to Cambridge tomorrow
morning in time for the Northeastern game.
Both of the Crimson's opponents this weekend have formidable defenses. Providence goaltender Sara DeCosta, a gold medalist on the 1998 U.S. Olympic Team, and the Friars allow only 1.39 goals a game, the lowest average in the ECAC, whereas Northeastern's aggressive defense gives up 1.73 goals a game, ranking the Huskies third in the conference.
"We usually dominate offensively, but against Northeastern and Providence goals are harder to come by," freshman winger Kalen Ingram said. "The score will be close but we have confidence in our offense. Goals will come, but we need to take care of our own end first."
