It first heads to Princeton where it meets a Tiger team trailing the Crimson by only two points in the standings and eager to cement its own playoff positioning.
The Tigers possess probably the most lethal top line in the ECAC, with their combination of co-captain Casson Masters and juniors Jeff Halpern and Scott Bertoli. This trio has scored 23 of the team's last 44 goals and has 44 points over Princeton's last 13 games.
Halpern is the most fearsome of this group. He is tied for second in overall ECAC scoring and takes a 13-game point-scoring streak into tonight's game.
Offensive threats though, are nothing new for the Crimson.
"We have never gone into a game thinking we have to stop a particular player," said freshman forward Chris Bala. "We just have to play our system."
After Princeton, it does not become any easier as Harvard trudges to the dark recesses of New Haven, Conn.
Yale currently stands at the top of the ECAC table, needing one more win to clinch a playoff birth. This week's ESPN/USA Today poll ranked Yale No. 5 in the nation, its highest ranking ever.
The Bulldogs will magnify any Crimson scoring deficiencies, as they boast one of the hottest goalies in the league in junior Alex Westlund. Entering the weekend, Westlund has not let in a goal in his last 162:28, recording two shutouts this weekend, over Colgate and Cornell.
"If we keep getting chances like we have," Allman said, "the puck will go in the net."
Yale's offense is just as hot as its goaltender. The Bulldogs scored 13 goals this past weekend, including a whopping 11 against the Red Raiders.
Sophomore Jeff Hamilton--who is tied with Halpern for second in ECAC scoring--leads the way, riding a nine-game point-scoring streak into this weekend.
Most troubling for the Crimson is Hamilton's eight power-play goals, third-best in the nation. Harvard's penalty-killing has also been a minor cause for concern, and will have to be extra sharp this Saturday.
"These games will be so close that special teams may mean the difference," All-man said. "We've worked on not taking penalties in the first place as well as some other approaches."
Harvard certainly has a tough pair of games this weekend, but both are eminently winnable.
"We are just going to play a real hard, physical game," Allman said, "and strive to capitalize on our chances while not surrendering too many opportunities. We need these games to pick up ground."
The Crimson must start sweeping weekends in order to move up in the standings. Every single game is critical.
Faltering now in the ECAC will ultimately be far more disappointing than any Beanpot.
