The Big Green, despite its recent skid, has played well. It has significantly reduced the number of power play opportunities for opponents, while consistently enjoying the advantage
in shots.
While the Dominic Moore-Tim Pettit-Brett Nowak line has been playing well and creating chances in the offensive zone, Harvard is unquestionably a better team on the power play. Its special teams is easily better than Dartmouth's, who allowed three power play goals to RPI in last Friday's loss.
Although the Crimson is not looking past the key Dartmouth matchup, the consolation game of
the Beanpot still looms large in its mind. Harvard will look to gain some respect against Northeastern on Monday night.
The weekend could prove a valuable opportunity for Harvard to redirect itself before Lake Placid, as well as reclaim some local bragging rights.
