Last Time Out: The Brewers had a busy weekend last week, hosting both Clarkson and St. Lawrence at home. In Friday's game, Jonathan Bow's first career goal proved to be the game-winner against the Golden Knights. Bow's shot came nearly ten minutes after Jose Novas collected Mattie Mrlik's rebound and buried it in the open net as the keeper was unable to recover from Mrlik's strike. On Saturday, Novas's goal and assist helped the Brewers top St. Lawrence. The first goal - on an assist from Novas - came from Henrik Olsson less than ten minutes into the game. Then came Novas's game winner in the 85^th minute.
