...last time the Harvard hockey team met up with Clarkson, the Crimson was mired in the middle of an eight-game winless skein--from mid December into February--which included four straight ECAC losses. One of the latter contests was against the Golden Knights, an 8-1, give-'em-the-puck-and-they-put-it-in-don't-they" loss in Potsdam...
