Alan Quine out at the end of the three-in-three, swap of young defensemen… and Michael Dal Colle out today. Didn’t get to talk to Brent Thompson pregame about that one.
But Travis St. Denis returns after a night off. The lines are rearranged to accommodate the ins and outs. Kristers Gudlevskis gets the start to end the weekend. At least as they rushed, a tweak on defense, too. See if that sticks.
Zane McIntyre parachutes in for Providence. Respectable addition, not that their goaltending could’ve been much better the past two nights. Rob O’Gara’s out for Providence; Connor Clifton’s in in the exciting Quinnipiac-for-Yale tradeoff.
