Clarkson University skated to its first tie of the 2018-19 season on Friday night with a 1-1 deadlock at ECAC Hockey rival Princeton University.
Aaron Thow scored from the blueline on a first-period power play for No. 12 Clarkson (20-10-1 overall, 11-7-1 ECAC), after Nico Sturm won a faceoff in Princeton's end. The score remained unchanged until 6:23 into the third period, when Jackson Cressey connected for Princeton (7-16-3, 5-12-2) in front of the Clarkson net on a power play, off a feed from the right side by Max Véronneau.
Princeton outshot Clarkson, 36-25, on the night. Jake Kielly finished with 35 saves for the visiting Golden Knights, while freshman Jeremie Forget finished with 18 saves for the host Tigers in his first career start. Forget left the game with 9:20 remaining in regulation due to an undisclosed injury, and was replaced by sophomore Ryan Ferland, who made six stops, including three in overtime.
Clarkson will visit fifth-ranked Quinnipiac on Saturday, while Princeton will close out its home schedule versus St. Lawrence.
