Weekend One-Timers
Baby steps — After losing its first two games of the season, the Tigers have lost only once in its last five games. They are 1-1-3 over that span, including a win and a tie in last weekend's home-and-home series against Yale. Rallying cry — In each of its three ties, Princeton has needed to rally from third-period deficits, including two times when the game-tying goal was scored in the final 1:30 of the contest. In Princeton's lone win, the Tigers rallied from a second-period deficit.
Going south vs. Northeastern – Princeton is 0-11-2 in its last 13 meetings against the Terriers. No current member of the Tigers was alive the last time Princeton beat Northeastern (a 7-6 overtime win during the 1974-75 season).
A power-ful opening – Princeton has scored on its first power-play opportunity in six of its seven games.
More power to you – Yale entered Tuesday's game at Princeton having allowed only two power-play goals in 28 opportunities (7.1%). The Tigers scored three times on the man advantage.
Parsons power – Princeton sophomore Brad Parsons has three goals in the last three games. Each has been on the power play. He and Chris Corrinet are tied for the team-lead with three power-play goals.
A Capital gain … for us – Although he is the property of the Washington Capitals, Chris Corrinet is the key figure for Princeton's offense right now. He leads the team with four goals and 10 points and scored twice to help Princeton gain a tie against Yale on Tuesday.
The shorthanded savior — Ethan Doyle had four of Princeton's last six shorthanded goals, including the only one this season. He also has the team's only game-winning goal of the year.
Take two, please – Princeton has suffered most in the middle period. The Tigers are even in first periods and +1 in third periods, but they are a minus-8 in the second periods.
I'm honored – Dave Stathos was named ECAC Goaltender of the Week after making 33 saves in Princeton's 2-1 win over Yale. He is the first player to win a weekly honor in the ECAC since Syl Apps '99 was named Player of the Week after the Mariucci Classic.
More stats on Stathos – Dave Stathos recorded his first victory since March 18, when the Tigers beat Colgate in the ECAC Final Five game. The sophomore is now 7-5 on the road and 6-2-2 at home. He is 2-0 all-time against Yale, allowing only three goals on 60 shots, a .952 save percentage.
Outside the Union – Friday night was the first time a Princeton goaltender limited his opponent to under two goals since Nick Rankin shut out Union 5-0 in last year's season-finale. Stathos hadn't done it since he limited Union to one goal when the teams met in January.
A Lamb-inated honor roll – Princeton junior Kirk Lamb was the first Princeton player this season named to the ECAC Honor Roll (11/15). He scored twice against Dartmouth and had three assists against both Vermont and Yale. He is tied for the team lead in points with 10 and is first with eight assists.
Home away from home — Benoit Morin has 32 penalty minutes this season. The next closest Tiger, Dave Bennett, has 10.
Box-ing the opponents — In the two-game series against Yale, Morin had one penalty for two minutes and drew five penalties for 13 minutes.
All over the stat sheet — Benoit Morin is the career statistical leader of all returning Tigers in goals (25), assists (28), points (53), power-play goals (12), game-winning goals (5), penalties (94) and penalty minutes (231).
Almost equal rights – Princeton has scored 11 goals on the power play and allowed 10 goals on its opponents' power plays.
Beaney Baby — Freshman Trevor Beaney recorded his first collegiate point when he set up George Parros for a third-period goal against Yale. It was Parros' second career goal. He scored the Tigers' first goal of the season against Niagara.

A look back
Princeton 2, Yale 1 (at New Haven)
Nov. 19, 1999 — After two games this season that hardly resembled the ones he put forth in his freshman campaign, sophomore Dave Stathos was a wall in net, giving Princeton a chance at the upset. He singlehandedly kept Princeton in the game with a marvelous first period when he saved 15 of 16 shots. The only one that beat him wouldn't have even been a shot had it not taken a bad deflection off a Princeton skate and rolled past Stathos for the period's only goal.
Yale goaltender Dan Lombard had stopped a number of point-blank shots, including two from Benoit Morin. The senior finally beat Lombard in the secon period when he redirected a shot from Chris Barber and beat the goaltender top shelf.
Princeton had the first good opportunity of the third period when it received a five-minute power play, but it was killed off by an aggressive penalty-kill. Yale had the next chance when the Tigers were called for a bench minor, but Princeton ended up with the advantage.
Junior Ethan Doyle, who had three of Princeton's five shorthanded goals from last season, stole the puck from Bryan Freeman at the Yale blue line and skated in alone on Lombard. He found an opening and gave Princeton a 2-1 lead.
Stathos did the rest, making 33 saves to help Princeton record its first win of the season.
Princeton 5, Yale 5 (at Princeton)
Nov. 23, 1999 — This one had significantly less to do with defense than the game at Yale, but Princeton played enough offense to earn its second 5-5 tie in four games.
After a scoreless first period, Yale jumped out to leads of 1-0 and 3-1 in the second period. The resilient Tigers battled back with goals by Brad Parsons and David Schneider, both on the power play, to tie the score at 3-3.
Yale jumped ahead again, but a pair of freshmen worked together on Princeton's first even-strength goal of the game. Defenseman Trevor Beaney recorded his first collegiate point when he hit George Parros with a perfect pass for the goal. Yale took a 5-4 lead before Chris Corrinet scored his second goal of the game at 18:40 of the period to ensure the tie.
Craig Bradley made 24 saves to earn his third tie in four decisions.
