Moore's spectacular performance on the man-advantage highlighted a Crimson power play unit that is steadily climbing up in the conference's statistics. Harvard's power play jumped from a woeful 6.7 percent earlier this season to 22.8 percent. This weekend alone, the Crimson went 5 for 12 on the man-advantage, posting a dominant 41 percent success rate.

"Last night we tried to rush things a little bit more," Moore said. "Tonight we waited for our spot and tried to find seams. Combine the patience with the skill we have out there and we can be dangerous."

If that's not enough, Harvard boasts a penalty kill unit ranked fifth in the nation and second in the ECAC. The Crimson is about 90 percent effective with a man down, and Harvard has scored more goals on the penalty kill than it has allowed all season.

The team's penalty kill statistics were greatly boosted by this weekend's 91 percent success rate. Only Union was able to net goal on the man advantage, but the Crimson was able to kill the other 10 chances, including all six of the Engineers' power plays.

"We've added some speed and energy to our penalty kill," Harvard Coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "Some of our best penalty killers are also among our top-six scorers and sometimes the other team gets complacent and you can generate scoring chances."

I offer only one caveat to temper this otherwise upbeat outlook. While the Crimson's penalty kill and power play have been invaluable to the team's success, Harvard cannot rely on its specialty teams to produce the majority of its offense. Of the Crimson's 49 goals this year, 26 have come in either man-advantage or man-down situations. Harvard needs to generate more even-strength offense in addition to maintaining strong speciality teams.

And senior goaltender Oli Jonas gets a nod for yet another tremendous performance between the pipes. Currently ranked eleventh in the nation, Jonas boasts a .921 save percentage, which falls just three-thousands of a point short of the league lead behind Marsters and Cornell's Ian Burt.

Although Jonas faced 72 shots in the homestand, his biggest test was a barrage of shots by the RPI squad towards the end of the second period. Jonas was clearly up to the task, holding the Engineers' scoreless, and robbing RPI of a number of beautiful chances, including a 2-on-1 break at 6:30, in the process.
