Daimon Gardner (Fr., Clarkson) is recognized as the Rookie of the Week with two assists and a positive plus/minus rating of one. Gardner made an impact by notching his first point as a Golden Knight on Friday night with an assist to linemate Ryan Taylor, narrowing Penn State's lead. The freshman forward replicated his success the following night, securing his second point of the weekend by leading a 2-on-1 rush that resulted in Taylor burying the rebound to reclaim the lead against Vermont.
