Freshman defenseman Gus Young will start at defenseman for No. 2 Yale when it plays at St. Lawrence Friday night, coach Keith Allain said Tuesday. Young will fill the void left by Nick Jaskowiak, who must serve a mandatory one-game suspension for a game disqualification on Saturday against Dartmouth.

Young, a draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche last June, has played in just two games this season. He started Yale's opener, but suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him for several weeks. Another shoulder injury in December kept him from practicing until last week.

Jaskowiak is expected to return to the lineup Saturday at Clarkson.
