Injuries to Forwards: Sophomore forward Steve Martins, missing-from-action since day one, had the cast removed from his right ankle last week.

Martins, who tore ligaments in the ankle during the first team scrimmage, was expected back sometime this month, but it now seems a January return is more likely.

With the cast gone, Martins has been getting around better and is busy building up his strength to go back as soon as possible.

Classmate Brad Konik, who missed this weekend's games, tests conducted on his right knee on week.

The CT scan caused swelling in the joint, forcing Konik to sit out the weekend games. But with the results negative, Konik should be set for Sunday's game against Vermont. ECAC LEAGUE STANDINGS
