Whether it was special teams or even five-on-five play, we weren’t able to establish a forecheck for ourselves and weren’t able to contain them in our own zone.” Clarkson won the opening face-off but didn’t settle down until senior wing Brodie Rutherglen redirected a pass through heavy traffic to score against Richter nine minutes into...

On the forecheck, along the boards, and now on a line with offensive sparkplugs Kevin Du and Dan Murphy, Maki’s best bet is to throw his weight around. “That’s what they do: they create offense,” he says of his linemates...
