Dartmouth 5, Quinnipiac 2

Dartmouth passed its first big test. The game was tied 2-2 after two periods before Drew Stewart’s power-play goal at 7:25 of the third put the Big Green ahead for good. Brock Cummings had three assists as Dartmouth stayed unbeaten at 5-0-0.

Brown 3, Cornell 1

Brown scored twice in the second period, on goals from Matteo Danis and Cullen Emery. Ivan Zadvernyuk pulled Cornell within one at 6:24 of the third, but Griffin Erdman sealed it with a shorthanded empty-netter at 19:07. Cornell outshot Brown 25-20, including 16-2 in the third, but went 0-for-6 on the power play, and Eli Pulver made 24 saves.

The win was Tom Upton’s first as Brown’s head coach.
