At Thompson Arena in Hanover, N.H., Corey Kalk scored the game-winning goal 2:13 into the third period and Devin Buffalo made 10 of his 26 saves in the final frame as the fifth-seeded host Big Green bounced back from a Saturday loss to St. Lawrence to advance to take on No. 2 Harvard in next weekend’s ECAC quarterfinals. Dartmouth is now 15-15-2 on the season.
