Three keys to the game:
1. Get Physical. The Tigers need to assert themselves early by finishing checks and playing the body. It’s a small sheet, so the more aggressive CC plays, the more turnovers it can cause.
2. Take the puck wide. CC has been scoring oodles of even-strength goals by taking the puck wide and spreading the defense. No reason that should change tonight.
3. Score first. CC is 7-1 when it scores first, the one loss coming at New Hampshire and I think that lesson has been learned. The Tigers need to start their nine-game road stretch on the right foot.
