Men's Hockey Hosts No. 14 Dartmouth

PUCK DROP
  • Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm from Bright-Landry Hockey Center and will stream live on ESPN+.
  • It will mark the third time this season that Harvard has played ranked opponents in back-to-back games.
LAST TIME OUT
  • Harvard dropped its first-round Beanpot matchup against the nationally ranked Eagles on Monday night.
  • Falling behind 3-0 in the opening period, Ryan Healey scored as a power play expired early in the second period to cut the lead to two, but the Crimson could not battle back in the 73rd Beanpot.
BIG GREEN AND CRIMSON
  • Harvard has not beaten Dartmouth in regulation since the 2023 season.
  • The Big Green have won three straight games.
  • In their last five meetings, Harvard is 0-3-2, with two shootout wins coming in the 2023-24 season.
  • Harvard fell 5-4 at Dartmouth earlier this season in a back-and-forth game that saw Harvard net two shorthanded goals.
CHUTDOWN CHEVY
  • Ben Charette helped backstop the second four-game win streak of the season for the Crimson after stopping 103 of 106 shots over a stretch of four games in seven days.
  • From the third period of the game against Clarkson to the third period against Colgate a week later, the sophomore netminder had not allowed a goal, which marks a streak of 135 consecutive minutes without a goal — the most since the 2012-13 season.
THREE TWENTY-FIVE
  • Ted Donato became the winningest coach in program history with his 325th career win on Dec. 3 against Brown.
  • Donato is one of just seven active coaches with 325-plus career victories.
  •  He passed Ralph "Cooney" Weiland for second all-time in program history following last season's opening-round playoff win against RPI.
  • Donato ranks 49th all-time in NCAA history in career victories, with only 10 active coaches owning more wins.
INTERNATIONAL CRIM
  • Heikki Ruohonen returns after competing in the IIHF World Junior Championships with the Finnish National Team.
  • Ruohonen earned Player of the Game honors after scoring the game-tying goal against the United States in the quarterfinals.
  • Finland finished fourth after falling to Canada in the bronze medal game.
  • An alternate captain in his second U20 tournament, Ruohonen posted three goals and six assists in seven games in Minneapolis.
  • Across two World Junior tournaments, he recorded 17 points in 14 games.
MORE MORDY
  • Matthew Morden had a career weekend at Bright as part of the three-game sweep beginning on Jan. 16.
  • Morden became the first Crimson defenseman since Henry Thrun to score a shorthanded goal in the win over St. Lawrence.
  • Morden, who has already set a new career high in points, added five points in three games over the weekend.
SHORTHANDED SPECIAL
  • Mick Thompson and Richard Gallant each scored shorthanded goals against Dartmouth.
  • It marked Harvard's first shorthanded goals of the season.
  • Dating back to 1947, Harvard has scored two shorthanded goals in a game just four times.
  • The last instance came when Ryan Donato and Sean Malone both scored shorthanded goals.
  • The Crimson also accomplished the feat twice during the 2016 season, including the opener against ASU.
CARDIAC CRIMSON
  • Harvard scored three unanswered goals in under eight minutes to force overtime against No. 1 Michigan.
  • The comeback marked the first time since the 2022-23 season that the Crimson erased a three-goal third-period deficit to tie a game.
THE 729
  • The line of Philip Tresca, Casey Severo, and Mick Thompson has been highly productive since forming late last season.
  • After coming together in the 25th game of last season, the trio produced 34 points over the final 10 games.
  • This season, the line has totaled 53 points through 21 games, giving them 88 points over their last 31 games.
FOURTH LINE GRIND
  • The fourth line of Salvatore Guzzo, William Hughes, and Marek Hejduk has been strong all season.
  • The trio scored its eighth goal of the year against Princeton and has found the net in eight of 21 games.
MICKY THREES
  • Mick Thompson recorded the fifth and sixth three-point games of his career last week on home ice.
  • The Ontario native has all six three-point games within his last 13 games.
  • Since 2002-03, Mick Thompson ranks eighth among Crimson skaters who have recorded multiple three-point games through just 37 career games.
  • Those in front of him are Adam Fox (97 career games), Casey Dornbach (131 career games), Sean Malone (115 career games), current Crimson forward Joe Miller, Sean Farrell (58 career games), Nick Abruzzese (59 career games), and Tyler Moy (131 career games).
ROOKIE RESURGENCE CLUTCH CASEY
  • In 2023-24, seven of Casey Severo's eight goals either tied the game, cut the deficit to one, or gave Harvard the lead.
  • In 2024-25, 10 of his 16 goals tied the game or gave the Crimson the lead, with two more extending the lead to two.
  • Over the past three seasons, 20 of his 32 goals have been go-ahead, game-tying, or deficit-cutting tallies.
HOME COOKING
  • With its eighth home win of the season, it is the second-most wins at Bright-Landry in a single season at this point in the year, trailing only the 2022-23 team that had nine.
ALL HANDS ON DECK
  • The 7-3 win over Brown marked the first time this season a Harvard skater scored multiple goals in a game where the Crimson tallied five or more.
