In its most recent pair of losses against the top-ranked Spartans, Yale was denied a tally by stellar Spartan goaltender Ryan Miller. Harvard will look for an intense effort out of its defense, whose play has been ignited by freshman Kenny Smith.

On the offensive side of the puck, the Crimson will again look to the dominant Moore brothers, who each posted four-point performances in last weekend's games. Sophomore Dominic Moore netted a natural hat trick and assisted on another score to down RPI, and senior Steve burned Union for a goal and three assists.

The Moore's will be without the services of freshman forward Tim Pettit, however, the first-year sparkplug is the fourth-leading scorer on the team, but is down with a sprained ankle.

The Crimson will look to returning sophomore forward Brett Nowak to compensate for Pettit's absence. Nowak left the team to play for the United States at the World Junior Championships. His comeback will add some valuable experience and a deft playmaker's touch to the Harvard attack.

As Princeton returns to conference play after four games in the Midwest and one against UHN, it tries to avoid being shutout in back-to-back games for the first time since the '76-77 season.

The Tigers' 5-0 loss to Bowling Green was marked by an inability to

score on the powerplay. Princeton went 0-for-7 with the man advantage.
