Tyler Cristall scored two goals in regulation, including the game-tying goal with under four minutes remaining, then tallied the only goal in the shootout as St. Lawrence earned an extra point in the standings at ECAC Hockey rival Princeton last night. Officially, the game goes into the NCAA's books as a 4-4 tie.
Princeton fashioned leads of 2-0 and 4-2, with St. Lawrence coming back both times to tie the contest. Jan Olenginski scored from the goal line with 5:30 remaining in regulation to bring the Saints within 4-3, before Cristall connected 85 seconds later to push the contest into overtime, where neither team scored. Jake Manfre had a goal and an assist on the night for the host Tigers before 1,725 on-lookers at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink.
Dominic Basse made 21 saves for the Saints (8-18-2 overall, 4-10-2 ECACH), while stopping all three shots he faced in the shootout. Arthur Smith finished with 21 stops for the Tigers (10-11-2, 5-9-2), who will visit St. Lawrence on Feb. 28 to close out the season series between the two schools. The Tigers remain one point ahead of the Saints in the ECAC Hockey standings.
