What a beautiful day on the boardwalk. It's 79 degrees and sunny. Not exactly hockey weather, but we'll take it any day. Between the arena and the bustle of the boardwalk, this is the perfect place to hold an event like this. If only it wasn't so far out of the way for most of the schools involved and their fans.

Yale will be without both Brendan Mason and Jeff Anderson tonight. Jesse Root is in the lineup, and Clinton Bourbonais will remain as the center on the line with Laganiere and Brockett. Bourbonais has made the most of his playing time, and it worked well when Mason missed Sunday's game with St. Lawrence.

It's been said often, but bears repeating. This game is doubly important for Yale, which will clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament with a victory. A loss, and it's likely down to No. 3 overall for the Bulldogs.

Here are the lines for both teams
