Three losses this week. Five in the last six games. It's been a rough stretch for Yale, which finds itself dropping in the ECAC standings as well as the Pairwise Rankings. A week ago, the Bulldogs were fifth overall in the PWR. Now, they're down to 12.

The loss of goaltender Jeff Malcolm has been an issue. But the Bulldogs scoring has gone silent of late, too. Just 10 goals scored in the last six games, four coming in the lone win during that stretch, are all contributing factors.

It won't get any easier. Yale takes on No. 1 Quinnipiac on the road Friday, a game that would be a great way to get back on track.
