Sam Malinski (Sr., Cornell) was prolific from the blue line this week for the Big Red, tallying assists on five of the team’s seven goals in their weekend sweep of Quinnipiac and Princeton. On Friday, Malinski had helpers on both the power play and at even strength as Cornell handed Quinnipiac their first league loss of the season, a 4-0 shutout that stunned the Bobcats. Saturday’s contest saw Malinski add assists on all three of his team’s goals in their 3-2 defeat of Princeton, delighting the Lynah faithful with three straight power play goals.
