CANTON, N.Y. — The No. 2 Quinnipiac University men's ice hockey cruised to its sixth consecutive victory on Saturday night, defeating St. Lawrence by a 5-0 final at Appleton Arena.

The Bobcats were powered by both of its Hobey Baker Award nominees, as Collin Graf potted a pair of goals and Yaniv Perets recorded his eighth shutout of the campaign as Quinnipiac leaves the northern part of New York with all six available points.

After Graf's unassisted tally made it 2-0, Anthony Cipollone recorded his first collegiate goal, deflecting home a point shot from Iivari Räsänen to extend the advantage to 3-0. Graf would add another unassisted tally in the second before Jayden Lee rounded out the scoring with a third-period point shot off the post and in.

STATS AND NOTES

With his two-point night, Graf crossed over the 40-point plateau, becoming the first Bobcat since Odeen Tufto in 2018-19 to record 40 points in a campaign.
Perets' eighth shutout brings him into a tie for second with Michael Garteig's 2015-16 total. The sophomore netminder owns the single-season record with 11 a year ago.
His 19 career shutouts match Garteig's career record.

Cipollone became Quinnipiac's 19th different goalscorer this season, recording his first collegiate tally.
Räsänen has recorded three points over his last three contests, all helpers.
Tellier has recorded four assists in his last seven contests with one tonight.
