The Saints were red-hot on the power play going 3-3, and four Saints had multi-point nights but the game would head to overtime where the St. Lawrence University men's hockey team would have to settle for a 4-4 tie against Dartmouth on Saturday night in Hanover.

The Big Green would win the shootout in the sixth round for the extra league point.

St. Lawrence moved to 9-17-4 on the year with the tie and 7-9-2 in ECAC play, while Dartmouth, the ECAC's king of ties, went to 7-9-9 and 5-6-7 in league play.

The Scarlet and Brown came out firing in the Saturday night game with senior captain Justin Paul and Logan Ritchie getting great looks on goal.

Rather than one of the seniors getting on the board, it was first-year Jan Olenginski, who would break the 0-0 score. Off an offensive zone draw win from captain Josh Boyer, Nicholas Trela would find Olenginski at the blue line, who would wire a slapshot over the shoulder of Cooper Black to make it a 1-0 game. The goal was Olenginski's first collegiate tally. 

Ben Kraws would then stop the Big Green, who ran a faceoff play of their own that ended with a dangerous tip in front. The graduate student stood tall to keep the Green off the board.



However, late in the first, a pair of penalties would put the Saints on the 3-on-5 penalty kill, which Dartmouth would cash in on to make it 1-1 at the break.

After killing off the rest of the time to start the second, Ty Naaykens nearly scored to take the lead but was stoned. Instead, the Scarlet and Brown would head to their first power play of the night where they would find a tally. Greg Lapointe carried the puck into the zone and passed off to Mason Waite, who made a terrific spinning pass from the corner to Paul, who one-timed the shot home to claim a 2-1 lead.

The celebration wouldn't last long as St. Lawrence was tagged with a five-minute major. Dartmouth would cash in scoring twice on the man advantage to take a 3-2 lead.

The Saints would get another power play with 37 seconds left in the second that would pay off to start the third. 44 seconds into the third, Paul would repay the favor to his teammate making a spinning pass of his own to Waite, who knocked the puck past Black to tie it up at three.

Kraws came up clutch six minutes into the period stopping Dartmouth, who had the Saints hemmed into the defensive end to hold the tie.

Later in the period, another man advantage for the Saints would give them the lead. This time it was Lapointe finding Lasak, who one-timed a shot to the upper part of the net from distance making it a 4-3 game.

The Big Green would respond however in the final five minutes sending the game to overtime at 4-4.

Reilly Moran had the best chance in the extra period as Lasak found the senior alone in the offensive zone. Moran went five-hole on Black but was turned aside as the game went to a tie and a shootout.

Tyler Cristall would score in the shootout, but Dartmouth scored in the sixth round to give the Big Green a 2-1 shootout win for the second league point.

Kraws stopped 28 shots and four in the shootout, while Black made 27 saves and five in the shootout.

St. Lawrence finished 3-for-3 on the power play, while Dartmouth went 3-for-5.

The Saints will head home where they will host Colgate and Cornell next weekend in the final regular season home series.
