For Clarkson:

• Last weekend was the first time this season Rempal was shifted off of a line containing the team's other top scorers, sophomore center Nico Sturm (10-16–26; 3 PPGs; 2 SHGs) and sophomore left wing Devin Brosseau (6-19–25; 4 PPGs) Sturm leads the country in faceoff percentage (64.1).

• Jack Jacome (6-18–24) centers a potent line of all freshmen with Josh Dickinson (13-9–22; 6 PPGs) and Kevin Charyszyn (7-6–13) on the wings. Charyszyn scored twice last weekend, and Dickinson is tied with senior defenseman Terrance Amorosa for the team lead in power-play goals (6-16–22).
