Men's Hockey Falls At No. 7 Cornell
November 23, 2024 | Men's Ice Hockey
No. 7 Cornell scored three times in the first period and added two in the third to stymie Princeton, 5-0, at Lynah Rink.
Â
Special teams played a crucial role, with Cornell killing all four Princeton power plays and scoring twice on man advantages of its own.
Â
Ian Shane made 23 saves for the Big Red to record the shutout.
Â
Princeton had jump to open the game, nearly capitalizing on a Luc Pelletier shot from the slot just as a Tiger power play expired six minutes into the game and again coming within inches of the opening goal when Miles Gunty and Kevin Anderson had back-to-back shots turned aside by Ian Shane on the ensuing shift.
Â
Cornell then applied some counterpressure before the midway mark of the first period, with sustained time in the Princeton zone leading to a Dalton Bancroft goal 9:12 in via a low shot through traffic from the slot.
Â
The Big Red tacked on a second goal 2:05 later when Jake Kraft found an opening just outside the crease and one-timed in a Tim Rego pass.
Â
The lead became 3-0 when Cornell got a bit of puck luck when a Michael Suda shot from the point was stopped by Ethan Pearson but caromed off Ondrej Psenicka and into the net with 2:21 remaining in the first period.
Â
The second period was a showdown of special teams as both squads were called for a combined eight penalties and each team was 3-for-3 on the penalty kill. The Tigers had a slight edge in shots on goal in the middle frame, 9-7.
Â
Cornell finally broke the deadlock in terms of special teams conversions when Ryan Walsh tipped in a Ben Robertson pass with 12:49 to play in the third period. They tacked on a second power-play goal with 4:12 to play Robertson scored quickly off a fceoff.
Â
Princeton returns to Baker Rink November 29-30, hosting Ohio State for the Tigers' first non-conference games of the 2024-25 season.
