Tringale extended Harvard’s lead to five with less than 2:30 left to play, picking up a rebound from senior linemate Mike Seward. It was the first goal of the season for the sophomore, who has played in every game this year, and the first point for Seward.

After skating on the fourth line on Friday, Blackwell saw more ice time on Saturday on the second line and penalty kill. Before this weekend, the San Jose Sharks draft pick had only played a game in November this season and had missed all of the 2013-2014 season with a chronic upper body injury.

“We’re all big Blackwell fans,” Moy said. “All the team is really happy to have him back and see him competing on the ice. He had a few big hits today, and it’s nice to see him mix it up.”

Blackwell has at least one semester of eligibility left yet was among Harvard’s seven players recognized in Senior Night festivities following the game. Michalek, co-captain defenseman Max Everson, and injured defenseman Patrick McNally were also recognized despite the chance that they might see NCAA ice beyond this year.

While Phinney struggled in net, Michalek stopped 27 pucks to pick up his third shutout of the year and first since Nov. 18.

“The guys were talking about [the shutout] on the bench in the last five minutes,” Donato said. “They were really battling and wanted to get the shutout for him. I think it was a fitting ending to the season.”
