"We had a good power play going and it was great to have [Capouch] back out there," Pettit said. "He sent me a really nice pass."

Capouch's impact was hardly limited to his performance on the power play.

"He was a steady influence on the blue line," Mazzoleni said. "We need Peter in our practice sessions and in our lineup."

Capouch was the only senior on the ice for the Crimson on Saturday, a testament to the team's youth.

Crothers played an outstanding game in goal, stopping 44 Dartmouth shots. Nick Boucher made 19 saves for the Big Green.

"Will Crothers did not have one of his better games against Vermont, but he really bounced back and did an excellent job [on Saturday]," Mazzoleni said.

Because of the disqualification assessed to Moore, he will now be unable to play in this Friday night's game against Cornell.

Certainly the Crimson will miss the Hobey Baker Award candidate, but Mazzoleni is confident that his team is ready to step up to the challenge of playing without him.

"We'll be fine," he said. "Our kids will compensate."
