Sam Malinski (Sr., Cornell) continues to be a force from the blue line for the Big Red, registering fourteen points and finishing the month with a +5 rating. Through just seven games played, Malinski helped the Big Red to a 5-2 record, scoring four goals, including two on the power play, and adding ten helpers. Malinski got on the scoresheet in every game this month, riding an eight-game point streak into February, and recorded five multi-point games. Arguably his best performance came in Cornell’s 3-2 defeat of Princeton (January 21), when Malinski assisted on all three of the Big Red’s power play goals to help the team earn back-to-back wins.
