February 25, 2017 ∙ Union - 2 - A Little Perspective: Tale of the Tape • Cornell will finish the ECAC Hockey regular season in third place, meaning the Big Red has a first-round bye in the playoffs and will host a best-of-three Cornell Union quarterfinals series March 10-12. The pool of teams the Big Red may host Team Offense 3.04 3.88 includes Clarkson, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Colgate or Rensselaer National Rank 23rd 5th • Despite Cornell's victory, the results of last night's games nudged the Big Conference Offense 3.19 4.00 Conference Rank 3rd 1st Red down one spot to 10th in the Pairwise Rankings. If the season ended today, the Big Red would be in line for a berth to the NCAA tournament. Team Defense 2.14 2.79 National Rank 5th 27th The Sum of Intangibles Is Tangible: Conference Defense 2.29 2.52 • A quick glance at Cornell's traditional statistics illustrates some of the Conference Rank 3rd 4th team's storylines, though several others fly beneath the radar. PP Pct. 17.1 19.8 • Through 28 games, the Big Red has already accumulated 108 man-games National Rank 37th 18th lost to injury — which includes lengthy absences from the team's leading Conference PP Pct. 18.3 22.3 scorer last year (Jeff Kubiak, 10 games) and a top-four defenseman (Ryan Conference Rank 9th 2nd Bliss, 28).

ECAC Hockey Player of the Week: • Mitch Vanderlaan (Nov. 15) What, Me Worry?: • Seven of Cornell's 18 victories so far this season have come in games in ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week: • Yanni Kaldis (Nov. 8, Feb. 7) which the Big Red has surrendered the first goal. • Jeff Malott (Jan. 16) • The Big Red's resilience from an early deficit has become somewhat of a trend, with the team sporting a very respectable 12-11-4 record when con- Florida College Hockey Classic ceding the game's first strike since the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign.
