He had a shutout streak of three (Colgate, RPI, Union) games (3rd in Division I) and 226:39 minutes (parts of 5 games) in November and was named ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week after stopping all 72 shots in wins at No. 8 Union and RPI on Nov. 11-12. The three straight SHOs tied the school record set by Ryan Rondeau ’11 last winter. His scoreless streak fell short of the 240:53 by Rondeau. His career record is 11-7-1 with a 2.77 GAA and three shutouts. Malcolm has a 2.21 GAA (21st in Division I) with a .931 SP (10th) this year. MILLER TIME Junior F Andrew Miller (78 gp, 18-68-86), who missed the last game and a half with an injury, is tied for the team lead with six assists and has a goal and fi ve points over his last two outings. Miller, a 2010-11 fi rst-team All-ECAC pick, was voted “best passer” by his teammates last season while he had 12-33-45. He was No. 4 in the nation with .97 assists per game (tops in ECAC). More impressive is that 22 of his 33 assists were primary ones. His team-high 33 helpers (2nd best at Yale and fi ve behind Mark Kaufmann ‘93) were a sophomore school record while 45 points were second on the team. He probably had his best offensive weekend as a collegian on Feb. 25-26 when he hit the net three times against Colgate/Cornell com- bined. Miller (Bloomfi eld Hills, Mich.), was 12th in the nation with 1.29 points per contest and registered the most (34 as a freshman) points by a Yale rookie since Tom Walsh set the bar with 41 in 1984-85.
