TEAM

Burlington, VT – Despite playing the final two minutes without a goalie to utilize an extra attacker, the Clarkson University Men's Hockey team was unable to find the equalizer on Friday nights as the Golden Knights suffered a 2-1 defeat against University of Vermont in the first of two games this weekend against the Catamounts.

The Golden Knights slipped to 2-3 on the year while Vermont evened its mark at 2-2 on the young season. The two teams will take a day between games and will faceoff once again on Sunday afternoon, playing in Potsdam at Cheel Arena.

Both teams had a few chances on goal in the first period but each of the teams' goaltenders were up to the task with outstanding glove saves. Vermont finished with a 14-4 edge in shots on goal in the first period, though the overall margin was slimmer (17-11) in terms of total shots attempted. Clarkson ended the first period on the penalty kill when Mael St-Denis and Bryce Sookro were whistled for infractions only 34 seconds apart, forcing the Knights to kill off a 5-on-3 for the final minute of the first period.

The Knights ended the 5-on-3 to start the second and capably killed off other penalty to keep the game scoreless. That penalty kill was a standout moment for the Knights up to that point in the contest, but Vermont rallied to score a goal three minutes later. A pass from the left point through the slot was slowed down by the stick of a Clarkson defender, but didn't quite get enough to clear the puck as it trickled to Colin Kessler who was able to shovel in the puck just outside the crease on the left side of the rink.

Three minutes later, Vermont picked up another goal on a solid individual effort from Daniel Sambuco. He skated up ice on the left side and held off a defender, pinning him behind and cutting into the middle for a shot to the opposite post that pushed over the line with the momentum of the slide at 7:32.

Clarkson had two solid chances in the final seven minutes of the second period, with the first coming off a breakaway by Luka Sukovic. He tried to go five-hole on a shot from the middle of the slot, but Jacob Oster was able to squeeze the pads together to close end the chance. A few moments later, Owen Van Steensel ripped one off the pipe while the Knights were on the power play, but no second chance came and the penalty was killed off by the Catamounts.

The Knights cut the margin in half late in the third period on a seemingly harmless shot from just inside the blue line by Bryce Sookro. A neutral zone faceoff was won by Clarkson and went back to Ty Brassington, who then delivered a rink wide pass from the left board to the right board for Sookro. Defended with just a little bit of pressure by two Vermont players, Sookro was a stride over the blue line when he threw the puck on net, but it had enough pace and movement on it to confuse Oster and it slipped past the Vermont netminder at 15:30 to make the score 2-1.

Clarkson pulled Shane Soderwall from the goal for the final 2:11 and battled against a few shots by Vermont that were called back frequently for icing as the attempts went wide of the goal. The Knights had trouble getting any shots off in that time as the dump in attempts around the corners were often cleared out of the zone by Vermont, and Clarkson went without a shot attempt in the final stretch.

The overall shot attempts were fairly even at 48-43 in favor of Vermont and the shots on goal had the same margin at 30-25. Oster made 24 saves for Vermont in a full-time effort, while Clarkson had two goalies play. Dawson Labre made 17 saves in only 24 minutes between the pipes before leaving the game after being shaken up following the opening goal. Shane Soderwall played the final 36 minutes and made 11 saves.
