ITHACA, N.Y. -- After stepping out of league play last weekend for a series split against North Dakota, the Cornell men's hockey team opens up the stretch run of the ECAC Hockey slate this weekend with a visit from St. Lawrence and Clarkson. The two-game series opens up a stretch that will see Cornell face every team from ECAC Hockey in the final five weeks of the season. The Big Red opens the weekend against St. Lawrence in a 7 p.m. contest at Lynah Rink, before battling Clarkson on Saturday, also in a 7 p.m. matchup. Both games can be heard in the Ithaca area on WHCU 870 AM with Jason Weinstein providing the call, while live streaming video of both contests is available through the Cornell Redcast subscription service.

ABOUT THE BIG RED
After going the first 15 games of the season without scoring fewer than two goals, the Cornell men's hockey team has now scored one goal in each of the last three games, going 1-1-1 over that span. On Friday, it was a Mike Devin goal on a two-on-one break with Patrick Kennedy that lifted the Big Red to a 1-0 victory over North Dakota, while the following night, Blake Gallagher's unassisted wrister from the top of the faceoff circle with 10 seconds left prevented Cornell from being shut out for the first time this season in a 3-1 loss. Ben Scrivens was outstanding in goal both nights, picking up 28 saves on Friday for his second shutout of the year and 14th of his career, and stopping another 23 shots on Saturday while taking the loss. Cornell's penalty killing unit was outstanding as well, holding the Fighting Sioux scoreless in eight attempts, though the Big Red power play unit went 0-for-12 on the weekend. For the year, Gallagher regained the team scoring lead with his goal on Saturday, posting 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points in 18 games. Colin Greening is also averaging better than a point per game with 20 points on seven goals and 13 assists. Joe Devin (4-11--15), Riley Nash (5-9--14) and Brendon Nash (2-8--10) are also in double figures in scoring on the season. Scrivens has played every minute of the season in goal, posting a 1.93 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage with a pair of shutouts. Cornell's penalty-killing unit has successfully ended 81-of-91 opponents' power play chances (89.0 percent), while the power play unit has converted on 18-of-86 chances, a 20.9 percent success rate.

ABOUT ST. LAWRENCE
The Saints enter the weekend with momentum, going 3-0-1 in their last four games and 5-1-2 during the month of January. In the last four games, the only blemish on the St. Lawrence record was a 1-1 tie against Cornell on Jan. 16 at Appleton Arena in Canton, N.Y. Last weekend, the Saints claimed four points in a 5-2 win over Brown and a 4-2 victory over Yale to move into a three-way tie for second place in ECAC Hockey, joining Cornell and Yale one point behind league-leading Union. Senior Travis Vermeulen leads the Saints offensively with 11 goals and 13 assists for 24 points in 25 games, including the game-tying goal against Cornell on Jan. 16. St. Lawrence features a balanced offense with 11 players scoring in double digits on the season. In goal, Kain Tisi appears to have claimed the top job, posting a 1.99 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. St. Lawrence has converted on 25-of-100 power play chances this season (25.0 percent) while killing off penalties at a 75.9 percent rate (104-of-137).

THE SERIES WITH ST. LAWRENCE
Cornell leads the all-time series against the Saints, 52-40-8, after the two teams skated to a 1-1 tie on Jan. 16 in Canton, N.Y. In the last meeting at Lynah Rink on Dec. 6, 2008, the Big Red picked up a 1-0 victory on the strength of a Colin Greening power-play goal. Cornell coach Mike Schafer holds a 15-14-5 record all-time against St. Lawrence, and the Big Red is 6-1-1 in its last eight games at Lynah Rink against the Saints.

ABOUT CLARKSON
With St. Lawrence making a charge up the league standings, their travel partner and North Country neighbor, Clarkson, is heading in the opposite direction. Clarkson enters the weekend in last place in the league standings and is 1-7-2 in its last 10 games dating back to the start of December. Matt Beca has been a bright spot for the Golden Knights, scoring 13 goals and adding 11 assists for 24 points in 24 games. In all, seven players are in double figures in scoring on the year, with five of those recording double-digit assist totals. Paul Karpowich has seen the majority of time in net for the Golden Knights, posting a 3.48 goals-against average and a .893 save percentage. Clarkson's struggles continue on special teams, converting on 23-of-135 power-play chances (17.0 percent) and killing off just 105-of-136 chances for the opposition (77.2 percent).

THE SERIES WITH CLARKSON
Cornell stretched its lead in the all-time series with the Golden Knights with a 3-1 win on Jan. 15 in Potsdam, N.Y., to hold a 53-49-12 advantage in the series. In the last meeting against the Golden Knights at Lynah Rink, the Big Red claimed a 4-1 victory on Dec. 5, 2008. The Big Red is 8-1 in its last nine games at Lynah Rink against Clarkson. Cornell head coach Mike Schafer holds a 26-14-5 mark against Clarkson during his coaching tenure.

A RARE OCCASION
The visit from North Dakota marked just the second time a current member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association has ever visited the nearly 53-year-old Lynah Rink. The only other current WCHA member to have visited Lynah Rink is Denver, which played two games at Lynah on Dec. 29-30, 1979. Both of those games went in favor of the Big Red, which won 5-4 and 4-3 on its way to a berth in the national semifinals. That same season also saw Notre Dame, which at the time was a member of the WCHA but is now a member of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, visit Lynah Rink on Nov. 23, 1979, and come away with a 5-4 overtime victory.

CORNELL VS. THE WCHA
The Big Red's split against North Dakota marked the second straight season that the Big Red went 1-1 against the Fighting Sioux. Cornell is now 3-5 all-time against North Dakota and 17-18-1 against WCHA teams. Of those 36 games against current WCHA members, Cornell has only played four at Lynah Rink, going 3-1. This season, the Big Red is 1-2 against WCHA foes after dropping a 4-2 decision to Colorado College on Dec. 29 at the Florida College Classic. Cornell head coach Mike Schafer holds a 7-7-1 all-time in his 15 games behind the bench against WCHA opponents.

HOME AT LAST
Cornell's game on Jan. 22 marked the first time the Big Red had played at Lynah Rink in nearly two full months. The Big Red had played eight straight games away from home, including three neutral site games, in between appearances at Lynah Rink. The eight-game road trip was Cornell's longest since the 1990-91 season that saw the Big Red also play eight consecutive games away from home. Cornell went 3-2-3 on this most recent eight-game road swing, with wins over Rensselaer, New Hampshire and Clarkson, and ties against Boston University, Union and St. Lawrence. Cornell's two losses both came in Estero, Fla., in the Florida College Classic on Dec. 29-30, 2009.

CLOSE CALL
With Blake Gallagher's goal with just under 10 seconds remaining on Jan. 23 against North Dakota, the Big Red avoided being shut out for the first time this season. Cornell was last shut out on March 21, 2009, against Yale in the ECAC Hockey championship game.

DRYING UP
Cornell started out the season as one of the most prolific offenses in the country, scoring at least two goals in each of the first 15 games of the season. Since then, however, Cornell has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just one goal in each of the last three games and going 1-1-1 over that span. Cornell is averaging 3.06 goals per game, ranking 27th in the nation and sixth in ECAC Hockey.

... BUT STILL GETTING BY
While the Big Red offense has cooled off in recent games, the Big Red still holds one of the nation's top teams, due in large part to one of the nation's stingiest defenses. Cornell is now ranked second in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 2.06 goals per game. Cornell also ranks sixth in the nation in scoring margin.

POWER OUTAGE
For the first part of the season, Cornell's offense was being carried by the nation's most potent power play. At one point, the Big Red was converting on nearly one out of every three power-play chances. That number has cooled off greatly, as Cornell is now converting on 20.9 percent of its power-play chances. The cause for the drop stems from Cornell going scoreless in each of its last 28 power-play chances over the last six and a half games. Cornell's last power-play goal came during the second period against Colorado College on Dec. 29 in Estero, Fla.

ANOTHER MILESTONE REACHED
Cornell's game at New Hampshire on Jan. 3 marked the 1,700th contest all-time in Cornell history. It was also the 972nd all-time victory for the Big Red.

NORTH COUNTRY OF NIGHTMARES
All teams have their share of troubles when heading to New York's North Country, and Cornell has been no exception to that rule in recent seasons. Cornell's win on Jan. 15 at Clarkson snapped an eight-game losing streak in the North Country. The Big Red last won at either venue during the 2004-05 season when it pulled off the rare sweep of Clarkson and St. Lawrence. Since then, the Big Red has tallied just six of a possible 20 points, with three of those points coming this season. Clarkson's Cheel Arena and St. Lawrence's Appleton Arena are two of the three ECAC Hockey venues that the Big Red has a losing record at, with Harvard's Bright Hockey Center the third. After this season's results, Cornell is now 6-11-3 at Cheel Arena and 17-19-5 at Appleton Arena.

LEADING THE WAY
Further establishing his place among Cornell hockey history, senior Colin Greening is vying to become the first player in program history to lead the team in goals in four straight seasons. He joins Matt Moulson (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06) and Roy Kerling (1977-78, 1979-80, 1981-82) as the only two players who have ever led the team in goals in three seasons, with Moulson being the only other player to lead the team in goals in three consecutive seasons. Currently, Greening trails Blake Gallagher by five goals for the team lead in that category.

ONE IS THE LONLIEST NUMBER
The Big Red's 1-1 tie at St. Lawrence on Jan. 16 marked the first time this season that the Big Red scored fewer than two goals in a game. Cornell had scored at least two in each of the first 15 games of the season, and had scored more than two in nine of those first 15 games. The Big Red has gone on to score only one goal in each of its last three games.

THE ONLY ONE
Cornell's 1-0 win over North Dakota marked the first time this season that the Fighting Sioux lost a non-conference contest. North Dakota went 5-1-2 in its non-league games this year including the split with the Big Red. Other victims of the Fighting Sioux include Merrimack twice, Niagara and Ohio State, with the two ties coming against Miami and Notre Dame.

DRAWING EVEN
Cornell's 5-2 win at New Hampshire on Jan. 3 brought the Big Red back to the .500 mark on the season in non-league games. With the split against North Dakota, Cornell finished the non-league slate at 3-3-1.

FIT TO BE TIED
Cornell's 3-3 tie against Boston University on Nov. 28 at Madison Square Garden marked the 50th tie in the coaching tenure of head coach Mike Schafer. The Big Red bench boss, in his 15th season, is averaging 3.33 ties per season during his tenure. Cornell recorded six ties in 2003-04, while posting as few as one tie in 2002-03. Additionally, while the tie was the 50th for Schafer, it also marked the 99th all-time tie in the history of the Cornell men's hockey program. Cornell reached the 100-tie mark a week later with the Big Red's 2-2 tie at Union on Dec. 5.

OVER THE CENTURY MARK
It didn't take long for Cornell senior Colin Greening to blow past the 100-point mark. Greening reached 99 career points with a goal and an assist at Rensselaer on Dec. 4 and was held scoreless the following night, but reached the century mark with a goal against Colorado College in the Florida College Classic. Greening wasn't satisfied with standing on 100, however, as he tallied an assist the following night against Princeton to reach 101. Greening, who now has 103 career points, is the 45th player in Cornell history to reach the 100-point barrier, with the last being Topher Scott, who recorded 107 career points in 137 games from 2004-08. Greening is alone in 42nd place all-time in Cornell scoring history, three points behind Ryan Moynihan for 41st (131 GP, 45-61--106).

SAVING THE DAY
Ask those in college hockey circles about Cornell's goaltender, and they'll inevitably make a comment about the goaltender being good, but a product of the Big Red's defensive system in front of them. At the end of the day, though, the goaltender's job is to stop the puck, no matter what kind of defense is in front of him. And that's where Ben Scrivens finds himself now, midway through his senior season. The Spruce Grove, Alberta, native, stands in second place all-time among the legendary netminders of Cornell history in career saves, just six saves behind  Jason Elliott's career total of 2,462, making it likely he will break that mark on Friday against St. Lawrence. Scrivens also has the second and third highest single-season save totals in Cornell history in each of the past two seasons.

THE WINNER
Ben Scrivens is not only nearing the top of the Cornell career saves list, but he is also approaching the top of several other categories. Scrivens is now third in school history in career wins with 54, 22 behind Ken Dryden's 76 and 11 behind David McKee's 65. He is also second in career ties with 11, two behind McKee, and fourth in both goals-against average (1.95) and save percentage (.929). He also has 14 career shutouts,  moving him one past Ken Dryden for second-most in school history. Scrivens now trails the career leader, David McKee, by four in that category.

VOTE FOR HOBEY
The first phase of voting for the 2010 Hobey Baker Award is now open, with three Cornellians on the ballot. Seniors Ben Scrivens, Blake Gallagher and Colin Greening are the Big Red's three candidates for the award. Fans can vote now through March 7, with the 10 finalists announced on March 18. The fan vote accounts for one percent of a player's voting tally. Fans can vote online at http://www.hobeybaker.com/voting.

LOWE'S SENIOR CLASS
Colin Greening is also one of 20 semifinalists for the 2010 Lowe's Senior Class Award, an award presented to the top student-athlete in the country. The award was designed to reward those student-athletes for staying in school all four years and their contributions to the classroom, community and in competition. The 10 finalists will be announced midway through the season, and the winner will be announced at the Frozen Four in Detroit, Mich. Greening is one of five semifinalists from ECAC Hockey.

GOING FOR THE GOLD
Cornell alumnus Douglas Murray joins an elite list of players to represent their country in the Winter Olympics after being named to Team Sweden for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver next month. Murray joins Darren Eliot (1984), Kent Manderville (1992), Dan Ratushny (1992) and Joe Nieuwendyk (1998, 2002) in appearing in Olympic competition and is the first to play for a country other than Canada.

ABOUT THE FLORIDA COLLEGE CLASSIC
For the third time in the 10-year history of the Florida College Classic, the Cornell men's hockey team dropped both of its games at the tournament. Cornell lost both games of the tournament in both 2001-02 and again in 2002-03. Hopefully for the Big Red, history has been kind to Cornell when losing twice in Florida, as both times, Cornell advanced to the NCAA tournament. The most recent time saw Cornell advance to the Frozen Four. Maine won the 2009 edition of the tournament with a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Colorado College.

WALK THE LINE
Late last season, Cornell coach Mike Schafer put together the line combination of Blake Gallagher, Colin Greening and Joe Devin, to immediate results. Only an injury to Devin that ended his season kept that line from running through the end of the year, but with all three players healthy to start the season, Schafer has reunited the trio to amazing dividends. The three players have combined to score 56 points through the first 18 games of the season, or an average 3.11 points per game. The trio also comprise the top three scorers on the Big Red roster, making up 56 of the 151 points, or 37.1 percent of the team's total offensive output.

 THE SELLOUT
Cornell and Boston University combined to record just the second sell-out of a college hockey game in the history of Madison Square Garden on Nov. 28 when the two programs met at The World's Most Famous Arena. The first sellout of a college hockey game at Madison Square Garden came during the 2007-08 season in the first incarnation of Red Hot Hockey between Cornell and Boston University.

OFFENSIVE DEFENSEMAN
Cornell's seven defenseman rotation has provided additional offense for the Big Red, as the seven players who have seen ice time this season have combined to score eight goals and 35 assists for 43 points this season, or 28.5 percent of the team's offensive production. Senior Brendon Nash leads the way with two goals and eight assists for 10 points.

A TRIO FOR KRUEGER
With Sean Whitney scratched from the lineup against Colgate on Nov. 24, senior Justin Krueger stepped into Whitney's place on the first power play unit and delivered a career best three assists on the night. Prior to the game against the Raiders, Krueger had never had a multi-point game in his first 108 games at Cornell. He has since added another multi-point game with a pair of assists on Jan. 3 at New Hampshire, and duplicated that feat again on Jan. 15 at Clarkson. Krueger now has seven points, all coming in a total of three games.

BREATHING ROOM
When Cornell defeated Princeton, 5-2, on Nov. 20, the Big Red snapped a string of five straight games against the Tigers that were decided by one goal. All three games played in 2008-09 were one-goal games, with Cornell winning 1-0 in Princeton, N.J., the Tigers claiming a 2-1 victory in Ithaca, N.Y., and Cornell winning the season series with a 4-3 double-overtime thriller in Albany, N.Y.  The last game in the series that was decided by more than one goal was a Feb. 17, 2007, matchup at Lynah Rink that Cornell won, 8-4. The one-goal game was back in force when Princeton rallied for a 3-2 victory in the consolation game of the Florida College Classic on Dec. 30.

SIX OF ONE...
Cornell's offense erupted for six goals against Harvard on Nov. 7, marking the first time that the Big Red put six goals on the board against its rival since a 6-3 win at Lynah Rink on Feb. 1, 2002.

...HALF DOZEN OF ANOTHER
When Cornell's offense put six goals on the board against Harvard on Nov. 7, it marked the first time in more than a full season that Cornell has scored six goals in a game. The last time Cornell scored six was on March 9, 2008, against Dartmouth in game three of the first round of the ECAC Hockey tournament at Lynah Rink. The Big Red has played 42 games since then. Prior to that, the Big Red scored six time the week just before against the Big Green.

ANOTHER SIX-PACK
With Cornell going 42 games without scoring six goals prior to the Nov. 7 win against Harvard, it took far less time to record another six-goal game, as exactly one week later, the Big Red put six goals on the board in a 6-0 victory at Brown.

SCITUATE > CAMBRIDGE
In this case, the town of Scituate, Mass., nearly single-handedly scored more points than then entire Harvard roster when the two teams met on Nov. 7 at Lynah Rink. Boosted by seven points from brothers Joe and Mike Devin, the three Scituate natives on the Cornell roster equaled the entire scoring output from the Harvard roster. Joe Devin scored twice, including the game-winner, and added an assist, while twin brother Mike scored one goal and added three assists. The pair were aided by fellow Scituate native Sean Whitney, who chipped in an assist against the Crimson.

THE DRIVE FOR FIVE
Cornell scored at least five goals in both games during the weekend of Nov. 6-7 against Dartmouth and Harvard, marking the first time in nearly three years that the Big Red has scored at least five in back-to-back games. Cornell scored six goals against Union on Dec. 2, 2006, then scored five against New Hampshire on Dec. 29, 2006, in the opening game of the Florida College Classic.

10-GOAL WEEKEND, FOUR-POINT WEEKEND
Cornell scored 11 goals on Nov. 6-7 against Dartmouth and Harvard, marking the first time the Big Red had scored at least 10 in a weekend since the first round of the ECAC Hockey tournament on March 7-9, 2008, against Dartmouth. That weekend, the Big Red scored 12 goals in three games after scoring three in the opener, three in a game two loss, and six in the clinching game three. The last time Cornell scored 10 goals or more in a two-game weekend was on Jan. 4-5, 2008, when it scored six against Niagara on Friday night and four on Saturday.

START ME UP
Cornell has an all-time record of 55-32-6 in season openers after opening the 2009-10 campaign with a 3-2 overtime win against Niagara on Oct. 30. Cornell has won two the first game of the season in back-to-back seasons after scoring a 1-0 win over Princeton to kick off the 2008-09 campaign. Under head coach Mike Schafer, the Big Red is 10-4-1 in season openers.

HAPPY DEBUTS
Four members of Cornell's freshman class made their official collgiate debut in the win against the Purple Eagles on Oct. 30. Forwards Greg Miller, John Esposito and Erik Axell each found themselves in the starting lineup, as did defenseman Nick D'Agostino. D'Agostino also picked up the second assist on Joe Devin's overtime game-winner against Niagara. A fifth member of the freshman class, Braden Birch, made his official debut on Nov. 6 against Dartmouth. Most recently, freshman Chris Moulson made his Cornell debut on Jan. 16 at St. Lawrence.

A MIGHTY WIND-SOR
Tyler Roeszler and Nick D'Agostino scored two goals each as Cornell opened the exhibition season with a 7-0 win over Windsor on Oct. 23. Patrick Kennedy, Blake Gallagher and Dan Nicholls also added goals Michael Garman got the start in goal for the Big Red, stopping all 20 shots he faced on the night.

EXHIBIT B
Sean Whitney and Riley Nash both scored  as the Cornell men's hockey team closed out the exhibition season with a 3-2 loss to the U.S. Under-18 National Team on Oct. 24 at Lynah Rink. Ithaca-native Andy Iles had 39 saves in the victory for Team USA, while Cornell's Ben Scrivens stopped 24 shots in the loss. Joe Devin, Greg Miller and Blake Gallagher each chipped in an assist. Cornell finished the game 0-for-5 on the power play, while Team USA was 1-for-5 with the man advantage.

QUIETLY MAKING NOISE
One of the most overlooked players on the Big Red roster is ironically, one of the most visible in goaltender Ben Scrivens. Entering his senior season, Scrivens ranks among the top-10 goaltenders in NCAA history in several categories, though he typically gets passed over for league and national recognition because of Cornell's defensive reputation. Scrivens enters the year ranked tied for eighth in save percentage (.928) and tied for ninth in goals-against average (1.96). Additionally, last season, he tied for 15th all-time with his six single-season shutouts, and, should he start every game this season, he would break David McKee's NCAA record of consecutive starts by a goaltender of 102.

I FEEL A DRAFT
Cornell has six players on the roster for 2009-10 who have been previously selected in the NHL Entry Draft. Seniors Colin Greening and Justin Krueger, junior Riley Nash, sophomore Sean Collins and freshmen Braden Birch and Nick D'Agostino have been picked in the NHL draft over the last five seasons.

CLIMBING THE CHARTS
Cornell head coach Mike Schafer is quickly moving up the ranks of the coaching fraternity in his win totals. Now in his 15th season, Schafer has 286 career victories, ranking him third in ECAC Hockey, but with the shortest tenure of the two ahead of him in the rankings. Schafer trails only Quinnipiac's Rand Pecknold by eight, with St. Lawrence's Joe Marsh well ahead with 449 career wins.

WHAT'S IN A NUMBER?
Sophomore defenseman Sean Whitney will be wearing jersey number 19 this season, the same number that his older brother, Ryan, wears for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League.

IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR
In what seems to be an annual trend for the Cornell hockey team, there are two sets of brothers on the roster in 2009-10. Twins Joe and Mike Devin are juniors, while the Nash family has senior defenseman Brendon and junior forward Riley as members of the Big Red.

BROTHERLY LOVE
A glance around the college hockey landscape shows 13 collegiate players who have older brothers as regular players in the NHL. Two of those 13 players happen to play for the Big Red, as sophomore defenseman Sean Whitney's brother, Ryan, is a defenseman for the Anaheim Ducks. Additionally, freshman forward Chris Moulson's older brother, Matt, is a forward for the New York Islanders. Cornell joins New Hampshire, North Dakota and Union (coincidentally, all three are opponents on the schedule in 2009-10 for a total of five games) with having two players whose older brothers are currently in the NHL.

ONE LONG SEASON
In 2007-08, the Big Red tied the 2002-03 campaign with the most games in a single season in school history at 36. That mark was again equaled last year as the Big Red went 22-10-4, just the third time in program history that Cornell has played 36 games. The Big Red advanced to the NCAA Midwest Regional Final, where it fell to Bemidji State, 4-1, in the 36th game of the year.

IRON MAN
Senior Colin Greening has a shot at breaking the school consecutive games record this season. Entering the year with 103 straight games played, the Big Red captain needs to play in 36 games this season to eclipse the mark of 138, set by Jeremy Downs from 2002-05. He is currently at 121 career games played after appearing in all 18 games so far this season.

TRIPLE DIGITS
Five Cornell players have played in more than 100 games in their Big Red careers, with another two nearing the century mark. Colin Greening leads the way with 121 career games played, while Justin Krueger has appeared in 119 contests for the Big Red. Joining the pair in triple digits are Blake Gallagher, who played in his 100th career game in the season opener against Niagara and now stands at 117, and Brendon Nash, who reached the 100-game mark on Jan. 3 at New Hampshire and now has played in 104 career games. The most recent player to reach 100 was Ben Scrivens, who played in his 100th career game on Jan. 23 against North Dakota. Next up on the list should be Joe Scali, who stands at 94 career games, and Riley Nash, who has played in 90 contests.

EVEN MORE TRIPLE DIGITS
With Colin Greening becoming the 45th player to record 100 career points, another two players are racing to becomethe 46th and 47th players to reach the century mark. Hot on his heels on the race to 100 is junior Riley Nash, who has tallied 81 points in 90 career games, and Blake Gallagher, who has 84 points through 117 career games.
