THIS WEEKEND
The Dartmouth men's ice hockey team plays two ECAC Hockey games this upcoming weekend. The Big Green play host to Colgate on Friday evening, followed by a contest with fellow Ivy League member Cornell on Saturday.

TWO GAMES, TWO GOALS FOR MUSA

Sophomore Joey Musa is off to a hot start in his first collegiate season for the Big Green.
Musa scored the final goal of the game in the season opener against Harvard.
He followed that up the next night against UConn, scoring the game-tying goal early in the third period.

THE BIG GREEN STATS

Dartmouth has three different goal scorers through two games so far, this season: junior Tanner Palocsik, sophomore Ryan Sorkin, and Musa. Musa leads the team in scoring with two goals.
Five different players have chipped in with assists: seniors Jeff Losurdo and Harrison Markell, sophomore Tyler Borsch, and freshmen Braiden Dorfman and Trym Løkkeberg. Losurdo leads the team with two.
The Big Green have put their bodies on the line as they have a combined 24 blocked shots through two games.
Senior Justin Ferguson and sophomore Clay Stevenson each played one game in net this past weekend. Ferguson made 28 saves on Friday while Stevenson made 34 saves on Saturday.

RECENT HISTORY AGAINST THE RAIDERS

Dartmouth played against Colgate in two contests during the 2019-20 season. The Raiders took a 5-1 victory at Thompson on December 6, while the teams played to a 3-3 tie on January 25.
There's no possible way for the game on Friday to have a similar outcome to their previous game due to the rules regarding results in conference games. If the game is tied after the overtime period, the game will go to a shootout!

RECENT HISTORY AGAINST THE BIG RED

The Big Green split the season series against Cornell during the 2019-20 season.
On December 7, Dartmouth defended their home arena with a 2-1 win over then #2 Cornell. The first goal of the game was scored by current senior Jeff Losurdo, while current senior Sam Hesler chipped in the primary assist.
The Big Red took the victory in the return game, winning 3-2 in a highly competitive contest.

SCOUTING COLGATE

Having started their season earlier, Colgate enters Friday's game at 5-4. The Raiders are on a three-game losing streak, all one-goal losses, including two to #13 Western Michigan.
Colton Young leads the team in offensive production so far this season with seven goals and seven assists for 14 points. Josh McKechney has 10 points, with four goals and six assists.
Carter Gylander has played the majority of the minutes between the pipes this season, starting six out of seven games he has played in, and making 196 saves.

SCOUTING CORNELL

The Big Red will play at Harvard on Friday evening, before making the trip to Hanover for Saturday's game. They currently sit at 2-0.
Cornell is currently ranked #15 in the latest USCHO poll, which was released Monday afternoon.
They hosted the University of Alaska Fairbanks for a two-game series last weekend, needing overtime for both. The Big Red won 3-2 on Friday followed by a 1-0 win on Saturday.
Kyle Betts, Brenden Locke, Ondrej Psenicka, and Matt Stienburg have each scored for Cornell this season.
Nate McDonald and Joe Howe each played one game last weekend, combining for 41 saves, while Howe grabbed the shutout victory on Saturday.
