...Harvard men’s hockey team keeps tying historic marks. But almost none of them are the good kind. The Crimson dropped a 5-2 contest to Yale on Saturday night at the Bright Hockey Center, falling to last place in the league standings and running its record to 2-6-0 (1-6-0 ECAC)—its worst start to the season since the mid-1960s.
