THIS WEEKEND
The Dartmouth men's ice hockey team plays a pair of non-conference contests this weekend. The Big Green heads to Providence on Friday for a late afternoon tilt with the Friars. Dartmouth returns to Thompson on Sunday to play host to twin-state rival Vermont.

LOOKING BACK AT OUR FIRST AWAY TRIP

Dartmouth traveled to the North Country on November 12-13 for two ECAC Hockey games.
The Big Green took a 3-2 win over St. Lawrence in the first contest of the weekend before falling to Clarkson, 3-0, the following day.
It was another day of firsts for Dartmouth in their 3-2 win against St. Lawrence. While grabbing their first away win of the season, senior Sam Hesler scored his first goal of the year. Senior Justin Ferguson finished with 30 saves to secure the first win of his career, and junior Jack Cameron scored the first goal of his career, which was also the game-winner.
Junior Mark Gallant scored the first goal of the game, which made it three goals in three games for him this season.
Freshman Sean Chisholm chipped in two assists for the first multi-assist game of his career.

THE BIG GREEN STATS

Gallant leads the team in scoring with three goals, while senior Jeff Losurdo and sophomore Joey Musa each have two goals.
Junior Tanner Palocsik leads the team in assists with four. Losurdo and Chisholm each have three.
Losurdo and Palocsik each have five points this season, while Gallant and Chisholm have four.
Ferguson has played in four games between the pipes this season for the Big Green, making 86 saves for a save percentage of .803.

RECENT HISTORY AGAINST THE FRIARS

This will only be the third time since the start of the 2013-14 season in which the Big Green have taken on the Friars.
The first game was during the 2013 Ledyard Classic, in which Providence defeated Dartmouth, 3-2.
It was five years before they squared off again, also in the Ledyard Classic. The Friars won 5-3 in the championship game.

RECENT HISTORY AGAINST THE CATAMOUNTS

The Big Green played to a 2-2 tie at Vermont on January 10, 2020.
Dartmouth came back from a 2-0 deficit with two powerplay goals, one from Gallant and the other from Losurdo.
Dartmouth fell to Vermont, 5-3, at Thompson Arena in their lone matchup during the 2018-19 season.
Losurdo also scored in that contest, grabbing the final goal of the game midway through the third period.

SCOUTING PROVIDENCE

Providence enters Friday's game with a 10-5 overall record. They are ranked 14^th in the latest USCHO and USA Today polls.
This is the first of four, potentially five, games against ECAC Hockey schools this season. They could face Yale depending on the results of the first day of the Kwik Trip Holiday Faceoff.
Brett Berard leads the Friars in scoring with eight goals, Parker Ford has six and Patrick Moynihan has scored five.
Nick Poisson has 14 assists for Providence, which is tied for 5^th in Division I. He also leads the team in points with 17.
