As the first half of the season begins to wind down, the Fighting Irish aren\u2019t where they\u2019d like to be.<\/p>\n

With a record of 7-7-2, Notre Dame is 15 points out of first place in the Big Ten standings and is lowish \u2013 for Notre Dame, anyway \u2013 in the very early PairWise Rankings.<\/p>\n

None of this is ideal, but coach Jeff Jackson is the pragmatic type. Given some of the annual player turnover, adjustments this season were inevitable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost pretty big pieces from last year,\u201d said Jackson, \u201cmostly I think on the back end with Stastney and Karashik.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2021-22, the Notre Dame defense was anchored by senior Spencer Stastney and grad student transfer Adam Karashik. Gone, too, is goaltender Matthew Galajda, who transferred as a graduate student from Cornell and who had a .933 save percentage with the Irish and a 1.90 GAA.<\/p>\n

At the end of last season, Notre Dame had the fifth-best defense the country and the Irish penalty kill led the nation, allowing just seven opponent power-play goals in 136 attempts.<\/p>\n

There are big changes in that aspect of Notre Dame\u2019s game this season. Currently the Irish sit at 36th defensively with the 52nd-best PK nationally.<\/p>\n

The Irish PK has improved since their opening weekend in the Ice Breaker Tournament, though, when Notre Dame allowed five power-play goals \u2013 two in a 5-2 loss to Denver, three in a 5-5 tie against Air Force \u2013 which is two opponent power-play goals fewer than the seven total PP goals Notre Dame had given up for the entire 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a bad weekend,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cWe\u2019ve paid the price for that ever since as far as our percentage goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notre Dame\u2019s challenges don\u2019t end with defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though we lost those two difference makers on the back end, the bigger problem is our offense,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cWe\u2019re just not scoring the way I thought we would.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Irish is averaging 2.38 goals per game, down from the 3.20 they averaged at the end of last season. Gone is Max Ellis, who as a junior led Notre Dame last season with 16 goals. Stastney had seven goals of his own from the blue line. Graham Slaggert had 12 goals last year before graduating. Cam Burke had eight in his senior season and then transferred to Boston College.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, said Jackson, returning scorers have yet to find their groove.<\/p>\n

\u201cLandon Slaggert just got his first goal against BU,” noted Jackson. “How do you predict that stuff? It\u2019s not like he\u2019s not trying. It\u2019s not like he isn\u2019t getting chances. He\u2019s just not scoring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slaggert had a dozen goals last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same thing applies to other guys that we thought hopefully were going to take the step offensively for us and it just hasn\u2019t happened yet,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t still happen. That\u2019s where we\u2019ve gotten ourselves into a little bit of trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complicit in all of this, said Jackson, has been Notre Dame\u2019s schedule. After beginning the season against Denver at the Ice Breaker Tournament, the Irish have since dropped two games to Minnesota, have split with Ohio State, Michigan and Western Michigan, have played to a win and a tie against a reborn Michigan State team, and played on the road the last weekend in November against Boston University and Boston College. After losing to the Terriers 5-2, the Irish beat the Eagles by the same score.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a bear of a schedule, to be honest,\u201d said Jackson, \u201cand that plays into it a bit. We haven\u2019t been consistent, but we\u2019ve been playing a lot of teams that are top-10, top-20 in the country on a pretty regular basis, so when we have an off night, it shows up. It shows up bigger. Let\u2019s put it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

An off night like Notre Dame\u2019s 5-2 loss to Ohio State Nov. 18, when the Irish surrendered three third-period goals. Or an off night like that 5-2 loss to Boston University, when the Irish trailed all game and once again allowed three third-period goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always say that when we don\u2019t play well, we\u2019re not possessing the puck, we\u2019re not managing the puck like we should be,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cIf you\u2019re giving it up, you\u2019re chasing, you\u2019re playing defense with a top team. You\u2019re playing defense at a high level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t score ourselves out of trouble. We need to get things on track. That\u2019s probably where we\u2019ve been spending the bulk of our time, on generating more offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Notre Dame power play, which clicked along at nearly 20 percent last season, is just 7 of 56 this year so far (12.5%).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more ability, more talent than what our power play shows,\u201d said Jackson.<\/p>\n

Through 16 games, the Irish are led in goal production by grad student defenseman Nick Leivermann, whose five total goals are one shy of the career high he set as a senior last year for Notre Dame. Newcomers Chayse Primeau (Ohama) and Jackson Pierson (New Hampshire), both grad student transfers, are expected to add offense as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

Then again, so is everyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a big believer that it\u2019s not so much the individuals, it\u2019s about the collective,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cIt\u2019s about the chemistry in the group. We just haven\u2019t found that chemistry yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

To bolster the blue line, Notre Dame brought in Ben Brinkman after he finished his initial four years with Minnesota and junior Drew Bavaro, who transferred after two years with Bentley. Additionally, the Irish have highly touted freshman Mike Mastrodomenico.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the three have played pretty well for us,\u201d said Jackson.<\/p>\n

Returning to Big Ten play after a bye week, Notre Dame hosts Penn State. Jackson knows what the Nittany Lions are bringing to South Bend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the second half of last year, they didn\u2019t lose much,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a lot of returning guys, and they made some good pickups in the transfers, some offensive guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson said that he hopes that the difficulty of Notre Dame\u2019s early schedule and the lessons his team can learn from that will prepare the Irish for the remainder of the season, games that are all in conference from now until the end of the season with the exception of a home series against Alaska to ring in the new year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no soft ice in the league,” Jackson said. “The Big Ten is hard top to bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson said that he and his coaching staff can\u2019t think about how some early losses may affect Notre Dame\u2019s fate come March. The Irish have made six consecutive NCAA appearances dating back to 2016 and excluding 2020, when the tournament was cancelled because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t make some hay in nonconference, then you get in trouble,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cWe have to just focus on the present. We can\u2019t worry about what happened or what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson said that every week, the Irish are working on improving.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the approach of the coaching staff,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to simplify things, just work on the fundamentals and the details of the game. It\u2019s not about structure. It\u2019s more about execution of that structure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notre Dame is 17-7-3 all-time against Penn State. The Nittany Lions have never won back-to-back games against the Fighting Irish. Last season, the Irish won all four meetings with Penn State, outscoring the Nittany Lions 19-8 in those contests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
