The Series: The Golden Knights have won 40 of 48 previous meetings between the two teams and are 7-2 against the Bears in the last decade. Clarkson has won four straight against Potsdam, holding the Bears to an average of 5.5 goals per game in that span.

Key Stats for Clarkson (6-1): Fresh off a win over Ithaca on Saturday, the Golden Knights are looking for a similar performance from Alex Alfieri. The graduate student scored four goals against the Bombers and had a big game against Potsdam a year ago in which he scored seven points with four goals and three assists. Alfieri ranks second on the team in scoring (14-5-19), behind only junior Robert Fox (13-19-32). Clarkson's defense continues to shine in 2026, having allowed 7.00 goals per game through the first seen contests.

Key Stats for SUNY Potsdam (5-0): The Bears will be looking for a different result compared to last year when they got off to a hot start (4-1) before being upended by Knights 19-7. Saka Thompson enters the game ranked second in the Division III in goals against average at 4.92, but he allowed 13 goals on 18 shots on goal in the first half of last year's contest against the Knights. Potsdam will be looking for a strong defensive effort from two of its starters, Damyn LeClair and Alex Farben-Griggs, each ranking in the top five nationally in caused turnovers per game. Drew Costello is also in the top five nationally in faceoff percentage (.802).
