A real dogfight developing for the home-ice playoff spots, as five points
separate the top six teams and one point separates #3 - #6.  The other home-
ice spots (for the first round) are also being hotly contested, with two
points separating the three teams in positions 7 through 9.
 
Speaking of playoff spots, Harvard has clinched one with a win over Prince-
ton.  The Crimson hold the tiebreaker edge over Yale thanks to a 2-0 head-
to-head record this season.
