STATS AND NOTES

Tonight is one of 14, eight-goal performances by an NCAA Division I team tonight. It is the second by an ECAC squad, as Colgate netted eight against Yale on Nov. 19.
It is the most goals of the 2022-23 campaign and highest total since Jan. 18, 2022 when they tallied nine against Princeton.
That matchup was also the last time the Bobcats had at least eight different goalscorers in a contest. They had nine that night.
Five goals in the second period is the most in a frame this year, besting the four they had in the middle frame against Maine on Oct. 23. The last time they hit that number in a period was Nov. 20, 2021, when they tallied exactly that against St. Lawrence.
Quinnipiac increased its nation's best unbeaten streak to 12 and is currently 9-0-0 in ECAC play.
The Bobcats are now 22-1-2 in their last 25 home games and have won six in a row at M&T Bank Arena.

UP NEXT
Quinnipiac wraps up the home slate for the 2022 calendar year on Saturday night, hosting Union for a 7 p.m., puck drop at M&T Bank Arena.
