Rubin And Smith Secure ECAC Weekly Honors

A pair of wins for Princeton over ranked opponents has resulted in a pair of ECAC weekly awards for the Tigers with the selection of Tyler Rubin as ADAPT Nutrition ECAC Defender of the Week as well as Arthur Smith as the MAC Goaltending ECAC Goaltender of the Week.

Tyler Rubin was named the ECAC's top defender for the second week in a row and the third time in his career. In wins over No. 9 Dartmouth and No. 18 Harvard, Rubin assisted on three of Princeton's eight goals while blocking three shots. Rubin now has six assists total over his last four games and has 10 total points with one goal and nine assists this season. His nine total assists are tied for fifth among ECAC defensemen this season.

Arthur Smith returned after missing nine games with injury to secure a pair of ranked wins in victories over the Big Green and Crimson. Smith played all 120:00 over the two games, making 58 saves while allowing six goals. On Saturday, he stopped 33 shots while allowing only two goals in a 3-2 win over No. 18 Harvard. For the weekend, he posted a 3.00 GAA and a .906 save percentage Over five starts this season, Smith is 4-1-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .905 save percentage. This ECAC Goaltender of the Week nod is the third of Smith's career to go with a pair of ECAC Goaltender of the Month honors.

The Tigers conclude a five-game homestand this weekend, hosting RPI (Jan. 9) and Union (Jan. 10) for 7 p.m. faceoffs at Baker Rink.
