RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk looks to end the 2019 portion of its schedule on a high note and end a two-game winless streak that put the blue-and-gold at 3-7-1 on the year.  

Thirteen of the Rams' 24 goals have come of underclassmen sticks, including eight from freshmen, but its junior Jack Kelly and Brian Brooks, who pace the offense with seven points apiece. Kelly has a team-best four goals and three markers, while Brooks' stat line is the mirror image of the junior's. Devin Lowe and Miller Rubin share second on the squad in points with six each. Lowe has one marker and five helpers and Rubin has set-up a team-high six goals.  

In net, Nathan Pickett and Cal Wilcox have shared time. The rookies' stat lines are fairly similar with Pickett holding a tad bit better numbers with a 4.16 GAA and .905 save percentage. Wilcox, meanwhile, brings in a 4.85 GAA and a .882 save percentage. 

VIKINGS VIEW
Salem State traded wins last week -- a 3-0 shutout over Worcester State and a 7-1 setback at Plymouth State -- to sit 2-5-2 overall.  

A trio of different skaters pace the Vikings' 17 goal offense with six points apiece in Calum Hofford (3g, 3a), Billy McGwin (4g, 2a) and Michael Shippee (3g, 3a). Derek Scoggins has assembled a two-goal, three-assist stat line and Connor Woolley has chipped in one goal and three helpers. 

Sean Cleary is Salem's go-to goalie, starting all nine games. He brings in a 3.68 GAA and a .898 save percentage. 

INSIDE THE SERIES

• The Rams picked up their first win over SSU a year ago, 4-1, in Charlestown. 
• Suffolk trails the all-time series, 1-2-2.
