Forty seconds later, forward Stephen Baby powered a path to the net, directing a pass to Cam Abbott on the doorstep of the crease for the game’s final score.

On the night, Grumet-Morris faced just 24 shots, but stopped only 19 of them. Most of the shots were quality scoring chances, launched from close range or else with heavy traffic screening Dov’s field of vision.

Both of the Crimson’s goals came on the power play, scored by captain Dominic Moore and junior forward Tyler Kolarik.

Despite outshooting Cornell, the Crimson had difficulty with the Big Red’s size and strength on defense, an area Harvard will hope to improve on before the Big Red arrive at Bright Hockey Center in February.

“Obviously it was disappointing to lose on Friday to Cornell,” Moore said. “We’ll face them again later though.”

Tuesday night, as Nowak will be serving an automatic one-game suspension.

The senior forward was whistled for a game misconduct for spearing as part of the combined 24 penalties called during the Harvard-Colgate contest Saturday.

That can only help the Terriers who last faced Harvard a year ago at Bright. The Crimson hopes to erase memories of that 8-4 blowout and prove itself against one of the nation’s premier hockey programs.

“It’s always nice to play tough nonconference opponents, especially cross-town rivals,” Moore said. “We haven’t had much success in the Beanpot as of late. We’ve got to earn respect, and this is chance to prove it.”

The game will be televised live on Fox Sports New England. Coverage begins at 7 p.m.
