Clarkson and Cornell have already clinched a first-round bye, while Quinnipiac and Harvard could do so this weekend. Here\u2019s a look at the upcoming games on the schedule. All begin at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Nate<\/p>\n<p>Last week: 7-3-2<\/p>\n<p>Overall: 119-60-23<\/p>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n<p>Last week: \u00a08-2-2<\/p>\n<p>Overall: 119-60-23<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Feb. 21:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colgate at Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Brown scored four times against Colgate when these teams met in November, but the Bears are averaging less than two goals a game this season. Colgate 2-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark:Luke Kania made 41 saves in Brown\u2019s win at Colgate in November, but Kania\u2019s out for the season. Colgate 3-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Harvard has a loaded power play, but the Golden Knights are tough on defense and the penalty kill. Clarkson 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Golden Knights have won five in a row. Clarkson 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinnipiac at Rensselaer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: RPI\u2019s Owen Savory and Quinnipiac\u2019s Keith Petruzzelli have been two of the league\u2019s hottest goalies over the second half of the season, but I think the Bobcats have a little more scoring depth. Quinnipiac 3-2<strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Bobcats look to solidify their hold on third place. Quinnipiac 4-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at St. Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Big Green are looking to clinch a home playoff series, while the Saints are firmly entrenched in last place. Dartmouth 5-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: After a 1-5-1 stretch, look for the Big Green to get back in the win column. Dartmouth 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Princeton at Union<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:It\u2019s been a brutal season for both teams, but the Tigers only two league wins have come against last-place St. Lawrence Union 4-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Dutchmen beat the Tigers in OT on the road in November. Union 2-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cornell at Yale<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Yale has been playing well lately, but Cornell has been on a roll for the entire season. Cornell 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Big Red juggernaut rolls on. Cornell 6-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Feb. 22:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cornell at Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: Cornell is almost becoming an automatic weekly pick. Cornell 5-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: The Big Red juggernaut rolls on. Cornell 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dartmouth at Clarkson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Dartmouth is a solid team, but like Cornell, Clarkson is becoming an almost automatic pick at this point in the season. Clarkson 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark:The Golden Knights avenge a loss to the Big Green a month ago. Clarkson 4-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Princeton at Rensselaer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Like I said above, Owen Savory has been lights out for the Engineers. Meanwhile, Princeton has struggled to score this season. Rensselaer <strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mark:Two of the Tigers\u2019 four wins have come on the road, but take the Engineers in this one. Rensselaer 3-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvard at St. Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate: The Crimson shouldn\u2019t have much trouble with the last-place Saints. Harvard 4-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Maybe a visit to Canton will help the Crimson get on track. Harvard 5-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinnipiac at Union <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:Despite its early season struggles, Quinnipiac still beat Union when these teams played in November. An improved Bobcats team should finish off the series sweep this weekend. Quinnipiac 3-1<\/p>\n<p>Mark:Look for the Bobcats to sweep the Capital District. Quinnipiac 5-3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colgate at Yale: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nate:The Bulldogs have picked it up offensively over the last few games, and I\u2019m not sure the Raiders can keep pace. \u00a0Yale 4-2<\/p>\n<p>Mark: Bulldogs prevail in low-scoring battle. Yale 2-1<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only two weekends left in ECAC Hockey\u2019s regular season.
