The Regular Season, In Brief: Cornell won sole possession of the program s ninth Cleary Cup awarded annually to ECAC Hockey s regular-season champion. It s the Big Red first Cleary Cup since , and the fourth during the tenure of 23rd-year head coach Mike Schafer. Since Dec. 9, the Big Red has led the nation in winning percentage. Currently at.828, it s Cornell s best regular-season mark since it went during the season before a postseason run into the Frozen Four. While Cornell is on pace to have its highest goal total for a season (3.07 per game) since the campaign, it s once against the program s vaunted defense in the spotlight this year. The Big Red enters the weekend leading the nation in team defense at 1.52 goals against per game, which would rank as the sixth-stingiest Division I season on record. The numbers have actually been even been better since Jan. 1, with Cornell yielding 1.25 goals per games over the last 16 games.

Cornell clinched its 22nd Ivy League championship in program history on Jan. 27 with a 3-1 win at Dartmouth. It s the 18th outright title for the Big Red, and the third its won in the last eight years. A Feb home sweep of Brown and Yale gave the Big Red a record in Ivy League play, marking the first time Cornell went undefeated through the Ancient Eight since Mike Schafer s first season as head coach. Awards Season: While ECAC Hockey s postseason honors haven t yet been revealed, Cornell swept the major Ivy League awards while placing fives players on the All-Ivy League squads. Freshman goaltender Matthew Galajda was named both the Ivy League Player of the Year and the Rookie of the Year while also being unanimously selected as the lone goalie on the All-Ivy League first team. Mike Schafer was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year for the first time since the circuit added the honor in Sophomore defenseman Yanni Kaldis earned a spot on the All-Ivy first team for a second straight year, and junior forward Anthony Angello and junior defenseman Alec McCrea garnered spots on the second team. Junior forward Mitch Vanderlaan received All-Ivy honorable mention. Need-To-Know Numbers: Cornell has been particularly dominant at even strength, ranking second in the country with a team rating of plus-43. The Big Red has surrendered just a paltry 26 even-strength goals so far. For perspective, the next two lowest totals in the nation are Clarkson at 44, and Northeastern and Minnesota State at 50. Cornell has three players in the top 12 nationally in rating, all junior defensemen. Brendan Smith and Alec McCrea lead that group (plus-20; tied for 7th), followed by Matt Nuttle (plus-19; tied for 12th). The Big Red has yielded seven power-play goals since Jan. 6, though five of those have been in two games against Union. Polls Prose: Cornell remains at second in both the USCHO and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls for a third straight week. The Big Red remains the highestranked team in ECAC Hockey and is in the national top five in both polls for a 11th consecutive week.

3 The Goaltending Factory Continues: Freshman Matthew Galajda (19-3-2, 1.49,.941, 8 SO) has taken the college hockey world by storm, leading the nation in goals against average, shutouts and ranking third in save percentage. While his numbers for the season are spectacular, they re even better since he regained the starting job Jan. 6. Including that night s 1-0 blanking of Quinnipiac, Galajda is with a 1.06 goals against average and.960 save percentage in Galajda was named the Hockey Commissioners Association National Division I Rookie of the Month for January after he surrendered just five goals over eight starts with four shutouts. Galajda has also set a program record for shutouts by a freshman goaltender, and he has solo possession for third place on the program s list for clean sheets in a single season. His two longest shutout streaks this year both rank in the top 10 in program history. More Than Just Defense: One of the keys to Cornell s success this season has been an increase in offensive production from its defensemen. After receiving 13 goals from blueliners in each of the last two seasons, the Big Red already has 19 goals from defensemen this year. Sophomore Yanni Kaldis ( ) has four points over his current three-game point-scoring streak, taking over the team lead in points by defensemen. Kaldis is also tied for the team lead with eight power-play points. Junior defensemen Matt Nuttle (2-9 11) has already more than doubled his point total from his first two collegiate seasons. Often paired together, Alec McCrea (4-6 10; 4 PPGs) and Brendan Smith (5-5 10) are among the nation s leaders in rating with a combined plus-40. Three of Cornell s top seven defensemen are freshmen. Alex Green (2-8 10) has logged top-four minutes all year, and Cody Haiskanen (1-1 2) and Matt Cairns (1-0 1) both scored their first collegiate goals in the final weekend of the regular season.

5 Forward Thinking: The key to Cornell s attack this season has been depth. To wit, six of the 12 players who had multiple points in February have 10 or fewer points for the entire season. Junior forward Anthony Angello ( ) was the nation s leading goal-scorer in January with nine. The ECAC Hockey Player of the Month for January has 16 points in the 16 games since Jan. 1. Senior forward Trevor Yates ( ; 4 PPGs) ranks second in team scoring. He has five assists over the last five games to join junior Mitch Vanderlaan ( ) for the team lead in helpers. Vanderlaan has 10 points over his last 10 games, but he missed the final six games of the regular season due to injury. Fresh Faces: The Big Red is the youngest team in ECAC Hockey and boasts one of the largest freshman classes in the country, with seven of the team s 10 newcomers appearing in the season opener a first at Cornell since Freshman forward Morgan Barron ( ) became the first freshman in program history to record a point in each of his first seven collegiate games. Forward Tristan Mullin (4-0 4) has three goals over the last three games, including the winner inside the final two minutes of the Feb. 17 game vs. Yale. His first goal of the season was also a game-winner, when Cornell beat Boston University at Madison Square Garden in New York. Forward Kyle Betts (5-5 10) is tied with Barron for the team s goal-scoring lead among freshmen, netting the final goal Jan. 20 at Colgate. He also won a team-best 63.1 percent of his faceoffs in February. Both goals from forward Brenden Locke ( ) have been game-winners, coming in the latter stages of third periods vs. Princeton (Nov. 4) and Union (Feb. 2). His plus-14 rating is tied for fifth in the nation among freshmen. Feel The Draft?: Cornell has six players on the roster who have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, including four from Junior forward Beau Starrett (Chicago Blackhawks) was selected earliest in that group, having been taken in the third round with the 88th overall pick. Classmate Anthony Angello, also a forward, was selected in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Junior forwards Jared Fiegl (Arizona Coyotes) and Dwyer Tschantz (St. Louis Blues) were then picked in the seventh round. Two newcomers are also NHL draft picks forward Morgan Barron (N.Y. Rangers in 2017) and defenseman Matt Cairns (Edmonton Oilers in 2016). What, Me Worry?: Cornell trailed in just nine of its 29 games during the regular season, including deficits of at least two goals in six of those contests. Remarkably, the Big Red has a record in those games featuring a multiple-goal deficit. The Big Red s resilience from an early deficit has become somewhat of a trend, with the team sporting a very respectable record when yielding the game s first strike over the last three seasons. That s a stark turnaround from the team s record when yielding the game s first goal from the previous three seasons ( ). First Ivy League Coach To 400: Already the winningest coach in program history and in Ivy League history, Mike Schafer ranks sixth among active coaches with 435 victories at the Division I level. He ranks second among current coaches at Cornell, behind just Dave Eldredge (men s and women s polo).

Cornell s Last Six Games Game 25: #3/4 Cornell 1, St. Lawrence 0 Saturday, February 10 at Canton, N.Y. Jared Fiegl scored in the eighth minute of the third period, and the Big Red used a resurgent final frame to power past the upstate Skating Saints.

It marked the third time this season Galajda posted consecutive shutouts, and it pushed his latest shutout streak to 157 minutes, 8 seconds 10th-longest in program history. After Galajda turned aside St. Lawrence s most ominous threats late in the second period, the Big Red answered the bell with an envigorated performance to take control early in the third. Dwyer Tschantz earned the primary assist on the goal, making the play while posted up on the top of the crease. He found the rebound of Trevor Yates shot with two defenders draped on him, then shoved a pass back to a wide-open Fiegl cutting across the goal mouth. Cornell St. Lawrence st: No scoring.

Brown equalized on Tyler Bird s tip-in early in the second period. It ended Matthew Galajda s shutout streak at 181 minutes, 7 seconds seventh-longest in program history. Quick puck movement from Yanni Kaldis, Trevor Yates and Angello set up Alex Rauter s game-winning power-play goal in the second. It was just Cornell s fifth goal on the man advatange since Jan. 1. The Big Red was a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill, including a five-minute major in the first half of the third period.

Trevor Yates scored his team-leading 11th goal late in the second period for the game s only strike, capping a bythe-book play in which the Big Red won a faceoff in the defensive zone, made two passes up the wall, then found defenseman Matt Nuttle joining the rush. The penalty kill kept Cornell in the game after Quinnipiac put the hosts on their heels for most of the contest. Most notably, the Big Red killed off a major penalty early in the second period.
