Antonin Verreault started the scoring on the power-play off a Borgula feed. Chris Pelosi and Victor Czerneckianair punctuated the period by creating a turnover and benefiting off the forecheck.

After a scoreless second, Braden Blace continued his hot scoring stretch by crashing the net and tucking home a rebound off the stick of Matthew Lansing to make it 5-0.

The Raiders would get one back on the power-play, putting one past an otherwise flawless Dylan Silverstein, who made 22 saves on 23 shots on goal.

STATS AND NOTES

Verreault has the second-most points in the country since the calendar turned to 2026, currently siting as the only skater with 10. Yale's Donovan Frias has 11.
Borgula is one point behind with nine since the New Year and Blace leads all defensemen with seven points in that time frame. Both had a career-best three points tonight.
Blace's point streak extended to five games, tied with Czerneckianair for the longest active point streak on the team.
The defenseman's streak is tied for the longest active streak by a defenseman and is two off Cole Hutson's seven-gamer, the longest this season and only Charles Alexis Legault (seven) has had a longer streak by a Bobcat defenseman in the last six seasons.
Andon Cerbone played in his 100^th collegiate game on Friday night.
Ethan Wyttenbach added another assist tonight, joining Cruz Lucius in a tie for second on the national leaderboard in points (32).
