Here\u2019s a look at the schedule. All games are at 7 p.m. except for those at the Fortress Invitational in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nate:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last time: 8-2-3<\/p>\n<p>Overall:  67-39-12<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last time: 9-2-2<\/p>\n<p>Overall: 66-40-11<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Jan. 3<\/p>\n<p>Rensselaer at Clarkson <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Golden Knights were on a roll before the holiday break, and I don\u2019t see that changing. Clarkson 5-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Golden Knights are riding a 9-1-1 streak. Clarkson 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at Princeton<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Big Green have scored four or more goals in three consecutive games. Princeton hasn\u2019t hit that mark since its second game of the season. Dartmouth 5-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Big Green build on their victory in the Ledyard Bank Classic. Dartmouth 5-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Quinnipiac<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Bobcats started the second half with a sweep of Princeton, but the Crimson present a tougher challenge. Harvard 4-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Bobcats will be looking to avenge a 7-2 beating at Harvard in November. Quinnipiac 4-2 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Union at St. Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Union lost to one-win Vermont last weekend, and then tied then No. 13 Providence.  That inconsistency makes it tough to get a read on the Dutchmen, but Union should be able to squeak out a win against the Saints. Union 3-2 <\/p>\n<p>Mark: Zach Emelifeonwu of the Dutchmen has been thrown out of the last two games for dirty hits. Can he make it three in a row?  Union, 2-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale at New Hampshire <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Wildcats are .500 team overall, but 5-1 at home. New Hampshire 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: In a meeting of teams with subpar save percentages &#8212; .890 for the Wildcats and .884 for the Bulldogs \u2013 look for a high-scoring game. New Hampshire 6-4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ohio State vs. Cornell, 8:30 PST (Fortress Invitational, Las Vegas)<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Buckeyes have played well this season, but haven\u2019t faced a team playing at Cornell\u2019s level. Cornell 3-2 <\/p>\n<p>Mark: This meeting of Top 10 teams should be a nice introduction to college hockey for fans in Las Vegas. Ohio State swept Colgate last weekend. Cornell hasn\u2019t played since Dec. 7. Advantage Buckeyes. Ohio State 3-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Jan. 4 <\/p>\n<p>Union at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:  Union has struggled to score, while Clarkson has been airtight defensively. Clarkson 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Golden Knights are too much for the Dutchmen to handle. Clarkson 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Princeton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Crimson simply have too much firepower in the lineup. Harvard 4-1 <\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Tigers remain winless in the ECAC. Harvard 6-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at Quinnipiac <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:  After a loss to Harvard Friday, I don\u2019t see the Bobcats getting swept at home. Quinnipiac 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: After beating Harvard on Friday, Bobcats make it five wins in a row. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rensselaer at St. Lawrence <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: This is a matchup of two struggling teams, but the Saints are at home. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Engineers gain a split in the North Country. Rensselaer 2-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brown at New Hampshire <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Bears can\u2019t score and the Wildcats play well at home. New Hampshire 3-1  <\/p>\n<p>Mark: Wildcats were 3-3-1 in non-conference games heading into the weekend. Bears were 0-3. New Hampshire 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cornell vs. Army West Point\/Providence 5:30 p.m.\/.9:00 pm PST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: I\u2019m assuming Providence will advance to face Cornell in the championship game. The Friars are a high-scoring team, but Cornell\u2019s defense has been strong all season. Cornell 3-2 <\/p>\n<p>Mark: Whether their opponent is PC or Army, look for the Big Red to get back in the win column after losing two in a row. Cornell 2-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, Jan.7 <\/p>\n<p>Yale at Vermont<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Catamounts entered the weekend with two consecutive wins after only winning one game in the first half. Vermont 2-1 <\/p>\n<p>Mark: Yale has a tough time scoring. Catamount goalie Stefanos Lekkas is hard to beat. Vermont 2-0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, Jan. 8 <\/p>\n<p>Brown at Boston University <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: This is the first non-exhibition game in a month for Boston University, but the Terriers have a lot of offensive weapons in their lineup. Boston University 4-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: It\u2019s going to be a long second half unless the Bears find a way to score more goals. BU 4-2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/I0000fsrly3voqzM.jpg Every ECAC team except Colgate is in action as the post-holiday schedule heats up.
