Yale To Play Weekend Host To Union, RPI

Yale will host a pair of Capital District teams this weekend at Ingalls:
nion (Fri.) and RPI (Sat.). Both begin at 7 p.m.

NEW HAVEN— The Yale men’s hockey team returns to Ingalls Rink this weekend after playing last three games on the road. The Bulldogs host Union and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in a pair of ECAC contests on Friday and Saturday night. Both will be streamed live on ESPN+ (international feed on Stretch Internet) beginning at 7 p.m. ET.

Yale: The Bulldogs are coming off a split of last week’s non-league action, including a 2-1 overtime victory at Vermont and a 7-0 loss to Harvard at Madison Square Garden. Sophomore forward Curtis Hall, who leads the team with eight goals, tied the UVM game late and then won it in the extra session. The Elis put 32 shots on the Crimson net while hitting the pipe twice. Senior goalie Corbin Kaczperski had the decisions in both games.

Union: The Dutchmen bring a 6-15-2 (4-7-1 ECAC) record into Friday’s game after earning a 3-3 OT tie at home with Cornell last Saturday. Union, which fell to Yale 2-0 earlier this season, is 1-2-1 in the new year after scoring five goals last weekend. Union and Yale are knotted at 26-26-5 since the first game in 1991-92, the year the Dutchmen replaced Army in ECAC Hockey.

RPI: The Engineers, who head to Brown on Friday after beating Colgate last Saturday at Troy, are 9-11-1 (6-6-1 ECAC) this season with wins in three of the last four outings. Yale won the previous meeting at Houston Field House 4-1. The Bulldogs and Engineers first played in 1908-09, and RPI has a 56-48-6 lead.
