The Series: Last year's game turned into a tough loss for Clarkson when the Knights led 6-4 on the road, only to see St. Lawrence rally for five goals in the fourth quarter, including a man-up goal with less than 90 seconds remaining. Clarkson led in shots (39-26) in the contest, but the Saints combated that deficit with a 15-5 edge in faceoffs.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-4, 1-3 Liberty League): Senior Griffin Emerson continues to post the best numbers in the conference among goalkeepers in 2026, leading the way with an 8.16 goals against average and a .610 save percentage. On offense, James O'Rourke is tied for the team lead in goals with 16 and is the only player for the Knights to have scored at least one goal in each of the past 10 contests. Robert Fox has a team-best 44 points (16-28-44) and is now only two points shy of joining Clarkson's 100-point club.

Key Stats for St. Lawrence (9-4, 3-1 Liberty League): The top two defenders in the league according to caused turnovers play on Wednesday, including Clarkson's Jack Garvey and the Saints' Drew Knight. While Garvey is on top in forced turnovers, Knight is one of the best defenders in the nation in terms of groundballs. Knight is one of the rare non-faceoff players to rank among the elite in groundballs, as he averages more than seven per game without taking a turn at the 'x'. Daniel Mahoney ranks second in the conference in both total points (58) and points per game (4.46).
