"Jonas has been a rock and consistent for us from day one," Mazzoleni said. "He hasn't had many substandard games. We give up about 35 shots a game, but he's been giving us that opportunity to withstand someone's best shot."
All in all, picking up this pair of wins was crucial in the hunt for the ECAC title at Lake Placid. Even though only half the season has elapsed, it is essential for Harvard to cushion its first-place slot in the conference with winnable games like these.
And it certainly helps that Dartmouth snapped Vermont's unbeaten ECAC streak, handing the Catamounts a loss and a tie last weekend.
With sophomore winger Brett Nowak and classmate Aaron Kim back in the lineup against Princeton and Yale next weekend, the Crimson will post a six-defensemen rotation and a stocked offensive lineup that could very easily steal another pair of victories on the road, repeating last year's late-season stunning sweep of the Tigers and the Elis.
