...received a similar vote of confidence, with Donato sending him onto the ice for the second consecutive game. While Richter started Saturday night’s game against Princeton, he was pulled in favor of Tobe in the second period after surrendering the game-winning goal. After making a partial save on a Princeton shot, Richter appeared to lose sight of the puck as it trickled through his legs and across the goal line, prompting Donato to make a substitution. Donato, however, denied that granting Tobe the start indicated a shift in his long-term strategy regarding the backstop position...
