...that formula didn’t translate into instant success. Despite holding a distinct edge, the Crimson (8-3-1, 6-3-1 ECAC) couldn’t capitalize on any of its scoring chances in the opening period, hitting the crossbar once and finding Fallon’s pads on several other occasions from just outside the crease...
