HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 3 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey team hits the road for its first away league weekend of 2024, as the Bobcats head to Colgate and No. 14/15 Cornell. Quinnipiac piled on 15 goals over two games against these two teams the weekend before Thanksgiving, enjoying a 15-8 league sweep.

#Graf4Hobey

For the second consecutive season, forward Collin Graf is one of the most dynamic players in the country as he's near or at the top of the national leaderboard in a lot of offensive categories.
The Lincoln, Mass., native, a Hobey Top 10 Selection a year ago, is again in the running for the award, currently leading the nation with a 1.92 points-per-game average. In his 16 appearances this season, he has recorded five, multi-assist performances and eight multi-point games.
15 of his 31 points have come in the last seven games since the calendar switched to December.

11 + 16 + 28

The Lipkin-Quillan-Graf line burst on to the national scene a year ago and has continued to fire on all cylinders in the 2023-24 season. The three have combined for 84 points on the year, with all three north of 25.
Only Denver's line of Massimo Rizzo, Jack Devine and McKade Webster have totaled more with 87 points. Boston College's line of Ryan Leonard, Will Smith and Gabe Perreault are third with 79 points.

LIPKIN HIS CHOPS

The sophomore winger has made another big step up this season, starting to catch fire over the last two months of action. Lipkin has recorded points in seven straight games and 12 of his last 3.
He's totaled 13 points in the last seven games, including a four-point weekend last Friday and Saturday in two wins over Princeton. The Philadelphia native is second on the team with 27 total points.

RETURN OF THE ZACH

Graduate center Zach Tupker heads back to his old stomping grounds this weekend, as the Bobcats head up to Ithaca to take on Cornell, where Tupker spent three years.
This season with the Bobcats, he is churning out a career offensive year in his final campaign, setting collegiate best marks in assists (11), points (13) and plus-minus (14). He also has blocked a career-high 21 shots with 13 regular season games left on the calendar.

CAREER YEARS AT THE BLUE LINE

Four defensemen for the Bobcats are having career years offensively, as Davis Pennington, Cooper Moore, Jayden Lee and Charles Alexis Legault are all putting up their best numbers during the 2023-24 campaign.
Pennington has matched his collegiate best in assists (15), while setting a new high mark for points (17). Moore has a career-high 12 assists and 14 points, Legault has a collegiate-high five goals this season and Lee has matched his college-best 16 assists this season and is one point off his career high.
