“Clarkson is a real good defensive hockey club,”Moore said. “I think it’ll be a challenge for us, but we can handle it.”
Unlike the Knights, St. Lawrence did not bring a game of any alphabetical variety when they were easily handled by the Crimson in November.
Harvard blitzed the Saints with three first-period goals and scored all six of its goals in special team situations—three powerplay goals, two 4-on-4 goals and even a short-handed tally. Grumet-Morris stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced in the Crimson’s win.
In spite the ease of its last victory, Harvard is not taking the games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence for granted.
“They remember that we swept them at their barns earlier in the year,” Grumet-Morris said. “And they are probably not too happy about that.”
