Last Time Out
Brown was idle this past week and most recently split a pair of home games against RPI and Union. After falling to the Engineers, the Bears topped Union, 3-2, to snap a ten-game skid. The Bears scored twice in the first period to establish a three-goal lead heading into the third, and then held off a late attack, as the Dutchmen scored a pair of extra-attacker goals in the final 3:30 of play. Justin Jallen, James Crossman and Cole Quisenberry posted 1-1-2 lines over the two-game span, while defenseman Zach Giuttari also scored. Gavin Nieto played both games in net and recorded a 2.04 GAA and a .918 save percentage over the weekend.

Scouting St. Lawrence
St. Lawrence (3-19-3, 1-12-0) will look to snap a 15-game unbeaten streak after the Saints dropped a pair of league games at Harvard and Dartmouth this past weekend. Sophomore Zach Risteau leads the Saints in goals (7), assists (14) and points (21), and has also provided the game-winning goal in all three of the team's wins. Daniel Mannella, Francis Boisvert and Emil Zetterquist have split time in net with at least five starts apiece. Mannella leads the trio with 12 starts and a .914 save percentage. SLU is averaging 1.76 goals per game and is 15 percent on the power play.

Brown vs. SLU All-Time
Brown and St. Lawrence have met 91 times, with the Saints leading the all-time series, 48-31-12. Brown won the first meeting earlier this season, 3-2. Justin Jallen, Luke Krys and Brent Beaudoin all scored in the win.

Scouting Clarkson
No. 6 Clarkson (17-6-2, 10-3-0) is 5-3 since the start of January and split a pair of overtime games against Arizona State last weekend. Haralds Egle leads all ECAC skaters with 28 points (1.12 PPG) to go along with 12 goals and six power-play goals. Fellow senior Devin Brosseau has a team high 18 assists as part of 25 points. Clarkson has six skaters with double figures in point scoring. Frank Marotte has played every game and heads into the weekend with a 1.79 GAA and a .936 save percentage. Clarkson is second in the ECAC in scoring defense, limiting opponents to 1.88 goals per game, and average 2.92 goals per game. The Golden Knights own the top penalty kill unit in the nation at 92.2 percent.

Brown vs. Clarkson All-Time
Brown and Clarkson have met 97 times, with the Golden Knights leading the all-time series, 69-19-9. Clarkson won the first meeting of the season, 2-1, in overtime. Zach Giuttari tied the game in the second period to force overtime.

Giuttari Named Senior CLASS Candidate
Captain Zach Giuttari has been named one of 20 candidates for the Hockey Senior CLASS Award, which recognizes student-athletes with notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities. A double concentrator in engineering and economics, Giuttari was named Academic All-Ivy as a junior and is a three-time member of the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team.

Rookies Make an Impact
The freshman class has turned up the scoring since the start of January, accounting for 45 percent of the team's goal scoring and 50 percent of the point total in that time. Five different rookies have found the back of the net in 2020.

Up Next
Brown will return to Providence next weekend to host Princeton and Quinnipiac.
