The Crimson power play was equally ineffective, as the team failed to convert a five-on-three power play in the first period.

“Special teams weren’t really working,” Leblanc said. “We have a lot of stuff to keep working on.”

Killorn had a penalty shot opportunity late in the third period, but it was stopped by Bobcats goalie Dan Clark. Clark made 27 saves in the game, denying Harvard shot after shot.

Lampe also posed a problem for the Crimson, notching four points in the game and upping his stats to nine goals and 14 points for the season. Lampe leads the ECAC in goals.

“He’s one of the guys we were told to look out for, and we let him go,” Killorn said.

The game was aired on NESN, the first of six Harvard games to be broadcast on cable. The increased publicity added meaning to the game for some.

“It adds an element for a lot of players,” Killorn said. “A lot of people’s family or friends that can’t come to the game in person will be able to watch it. It does affect the team.”

The team felt the loss, but did its best to forget about it quickly, as it travelled to Princeton for an Ivy League matchup less than 24 hours after the Quinnipiac game ended.

“The only way to [deal with the close scheduling] is to completely forget about what happened before,” Killorn said. “We want to take the mistakes in the previous game and learn from them but mostly to forget what happened. It’s a new day, it’s a new team—let’s just go play our hockey.”
