Yale can clinch a tie if it wins both its games this weekend.
 
here is the ECAC tiebreakers:
 
1. Comparison of game results between tied teams
2. Comparison of results of games against the top four teams
3. Comparison of results of games against the top eight teams
4. Goal differential in head-to-head competition
5. Goal differential in games against the top four teams
6. Goal differential in games against the top eight teams
