HAVEN—Five different skaters found the net as the Yale Men’s Hockey Team tuned up
for the second half of the 2018-19 season with a 5-2 exhibition win over McGill
at Ingalls Rink on Saturday night. Dante Palecco, Mitchell Smith, Evan Smith
and Will D’Orsi scored goals as the Bulldogs, ranked No. 15 in the latest USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll,
never trailed in the contest and outshot the Redmen 30-28.
Evan Smith had the top highlight of the
Yale goals when he dangled a defender and fired the puck stick side with 10.7
seconds left in the first period to put the home team up 3-1.
The Elis, who are 7-3-2 overall and next
take the ice on New Year’s Eve at 4 p.m. vs. UConn, gave a period to all three
goalies. Sam Tucker (9 saves) had the first, Corbin Kaczperski (9) took the
second and Nicholas MacNab, who had the two best saves of the night, finished
the game with eight stops in the final frame.
