Yale-Colgate pregame notes

Another night at Ingalls Rink, another sellout. Tomorrow's game with Cornell is already sold out, so Yale will finish the regular season with 12 successive sellouts. It will also look to run the table at home, entering the weekend a perfect 14-0 here.

Here's a link to the game preview that ran in today's Register.

The one lineup change of note is Colin Dueck will play left defense, with freshman Gus Young out of the lineup. Keith Allain has said that spot could go back and forth, and I expect Young will be there tomorrow night.

Couple of Yale record book notes. Ryan Rondeau set the single-season record for wins (21) in beating Princeton on Sunday, passing Alex Westlund's 20 wins in the 1997-98 season. Westlund's mark for career wins (42) is safe, as Rondeau has 27. There is no listing for winning percentage in a season or career, but would have to think Rondeau has both in hand at 21-4 this season and 27-8 for his career.

Rondeau is also going to challenge Alec Richards' single-season mark of .923 save percentage as well as his .910 career save percentage. Impressive for Rondeau, a guy who had almost no playing time to speak of in his first three years at Yale.
