Clarkson battled back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the Princeton
Tigers, 3-3 in Princeton's Baker Rink. All 6 of Clarkson's games
have been decided by a goal or less.
 
Princeton dominated the first period but stellar goaltending by
Clarkson's Jason Currie allowed only one Princeton goal in the period,
a power play tally. The Tigers outshot the Knights, 12-4.
 
The Tigers made it 2-0 when Kelly for PU scored a goal only
two sec after a PU PP expired and beat a screened Currie.
Princeton took a 3-0 lead on a 3-on-2 breakaway for the Tigers.
Currie made the first two saves but the defense failed to clear
the rebound (how often have we heard that this year?) and the
Tigers took a commanding 3-0 lead, or so it seemed. With only :33
left in the 2nd, an Ed Henrich shot went wide of PU goalie James
Konte but Jean-Francois Houle put a wraparound past Konte for a 3-1
lead and a little momentum. Princeton leads the shot total 27-13
after 2.
 
Clarkson uses the Houle goal as inspiration and owns the third period.
On a CU powerplay, Marko Tuomainen blasted a long shot from the blueline
sticked aside by Konte but Steve Palmer put in the rebound for
the Knights, 7 min into the 3rd. Palmer scored his 2nd PPG of
the game when he one-timed a JF Houle centering pass past Konte
to tie the game.
 
Dave Seitz took an obvious hooking penalty a little over 1 minute
into OT but Currie held firm.
 
Both Currie and Konte played very well. Currie held off the Tigers,
when they were up 3-0, and had an extended 5-on-3. Konte stopped
a pair of breakaways in the third.
