HAMDEN, Conn. – The No. 9/9 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey team is headed out west for its first weekend road trip of the 2019-20 season as they will take on the Arizona State Sun Devils at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe, Arizona.
Last Time Out
Quinnipiac played just a single game last weekend, picking up a 4-0 shutout of Vermont for its first shutout of the season. The Bobcats had four different goal scorers once again and have now won four of the first five games to open the season.
Scouting Arizona State
The Sun Devils come into the weekend with a 3-3-0 record after a weekend sweep at Air Force on Oct. 18-19. Arizona State took down the Falcons with a 3-0 win to open the weekend and 5-2 win to close it out. Earlier this season, the Sun Devils split with Mercyhurst and were swept at Minnesota State. Johnny Walker picked up the 2019-20 season right where he left off as he has four goals and six assists for 10 points in six games to lead the Sun Devils. Willie Knierim is second with three goals while James Sanchez is tied for the team lead with six assists. Goaltender Evan Debrouwer has seen the bulk of time between the pipes, going 2-3-0 with a shutout, 2.74 GAA and .908 save percentage. Arizona State is 17.2 percent on the power play entering the weekend while its penalty kill has struggled at 72.7 percent.
All-Time vs. Arizona State
Quinnipiac has dominated the all-time series with Arizona State, posting a 4-1-1 record in six meetings dating back to the Sun Devils' first Division I season in 2015-16. Last season, Quinnipiac and Arizona State met in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in the Midwest Regional, which the Bobcats came away with a 2-1 victory. The Bobcats and Sun Devils have met just one time at Oceanside Ice Arena, with the two teams skating to a 2-2 tie before the second game of the series was played at Gila River Arena.
National Rankings
The Bobcats moved up four spots in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Men's College Hockey Poll to No. 9 in the nation, to pull back into the top 10 of both national polls. Quinnipiac stayed idle at No. 9 in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll. The Bobcats are now ranked in the top 10 of at least one of the national polls for 22 consecutive weeks.
Pro Updates
Devon Toews '17 continues to make his mark on the scoresheet for the New York Islanders as he has recorded a point in four of his last five games, including assists in three straight games to give him eight points on the season as of Oct. 30. In the AHL, Chase Priskie has a goal in two straight games with Charlotte as well as Sam Anas with Iowa while Tanner MacMaster has a point in three straight games for Toronto.
Rand's Winning Ways
Head coach Rand Pecknold continues to approach milestone wins in his career. In addition to having 514 wins to rank 12th all-time among Division I Men's Hockey coaches, he is just 12 wins from passing former men's and women's tennis head coach Mike Quitko for the most wins by a coach in Quinnipiac Athletics history. Pecknold and Quitko are the only two Quinnipiac coaches to record 500 wins with Quinnipiac programs.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Quinnipiac has won four of its first five games in the 2019-20 season, doing so for the third time in the past five seasons and ninth time in the program's Division I era. This marks the second straight season the Bobcats have had at least four wins in the first five games.
Strummin' the Bonjo
Wyatt Bongiovanni has been on a tear to open the 2019-20 season, picking up where he left off as a freshman. Bongiovanni has a four-game goal streak heading into the weekend, the longest goal and point streak of his career. He also leads ECAC Hockey with four goals and a 0.80 goals per game average while his +5 plus/minus rating is tied for third in the league. Nationally, Bongiovanni is tied for 10th in goals.
Shutting the Door
Keith Petruzzelli recorded his first shutout of the 2019-20 season with a 21-save performance against Vermont on Sunday. Petruzzelli made 10 of his 21 saves in the third period of Sunday's shutout. In his career, Petruzzelli now has four shutouts after recording his second shutout at Frank Perrotti Jr. Arena. He now leads ECAC Hockey with four wins to open the season.
