February 24, 2024 | Men's Ice Hockey
Â
Princeton completed a weekend sweep of its trip to New England, dialing up a 5-1 win over Brown to follow up a 4-1 win over Yale on Friday night and secure a total of six important ECAC points headed into the final weekend of the regular season.
The Tigers are now 10-14-3 overall and 8-10-1 inside the ECAC. Princeton sits in ninth place overall in the ECAC standings with 24 points -- one point away from eighth place and five away from sixth.
Princeton completes the Ivy League schedule with a 6-3-1 record and 17 points. The six wins against Ivy opponents is the most since the 2007-08 team won nine en route to a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Â
Six different Tigers had multi-point nights, led by Adam Robbins who had a three-point game with a goal and two assists to match his career high in points in a game. Tyler Rubin (tying his career high), Nick Seitz, Brendan Gorman and David Jacobs each had a goal and an assist while Ian Murphy dished out two helpers.
Â
Arthur Smith made 24 saves for his second win of the weekend to improve to 5-1-0 against Ivy opponents this season.
Â
The Tigers were 1-for-3 on the power play and were 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.
Â
Brendan Gorman opened the scoring with 5:38 left in the first period, firing home a wrist shot on the power play to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Princeton needed just 0:04 of the 4-on3 power play to score, Ian Murphy clearing a loose puck off a faceoff to Gorman who took two steps then sent a low laser inside the far post.
David Jacobs gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead 8:06 into the second period when he redirected a Tyler Rubin shot from the point past Lawton Zacher.Brendo Goes Bingo!

The lead quickly grew back to a pair when Adam Robbins tucked home a loose puck from just outside the crease with 3:17 left in the second period. Ian Murphy carried the mail up the right wing to start the play, feeding to the slot where Nick Seitz had the first look before Robbins slipped home the rebound for the 3-1 lead.
Tyler Rubin extended Princeton's lead to 4-1 just 2:35 into the third period when he threaded a wrist shot through traffic after a superb rush from the point by Nick Carabin drew the attention of most Brown defenders and left Rubin alone at the top of the circle.Adam With The Answer!
