The Middlebury men's hockey team (2-10-3, 1-9-2) skated to a 2-2 tie with Trinity (9-7-1, 7-5-1) on Friday night in Kenyon Arena. The Panthers host Wesleyan for Senior Day on Saturday with a 4:00 p.m. puck drop, while the Bantams travel to Williams for a 3:00 p.m. start.
 
Middlebury opened the scoring with 13:08 elapsed in the first period during a power play. Jin Lee sent a pass from the right point that Andrej Hromic one-timed inside the left pipe to make it 1-0. Trinity had a pair of scoring chances with under five minutes to go. Alex Mozian had an attempt from point blank range and Kyle Tomaso had a wrap-around chance, but Panther netminder Jake Horoho thwarted both opportunities. 
 
The Bantams knotted the contest at the 8:34 mark of the middle stanza when Ned Blanchard fed the puck to Devan Tongue after a give-and-go to make it 1-1. With 14:36 elapsed, Lee had an attempt in the slot that goalie J.P. Mella swatted away with his stick. Middlebury took a 2-1 edge with a power-play goal at the 16:17 mark. EMack Bentley sent a pass from the red line toward the slot that trickled through several players. Paddy Bogart was on the other end, sending his slap shot from the high slot into the goal for his second tally of the year.
 
Out of the break, Middlebury had a great chance to extend the advantage just 1:34 in, but Bogart's power-play attempt from the slot was denied with a blocker save from Mella. The Bantams knotted the contest 2-2 with 4:07 expired in the third frame when Riley Prattson stole the puck in the right pocket, skated to the right point and slipped the puck inside the left pipe. Middlebury's Hromic had back-to-back shots in the final seconds of regulation, but one went just wide and the other was denied by Mella to force the contest into overtime. 
 
The extra session was busy for both teams, with each having a pair of quality chances to win. During the first minute, Trinity had back-to-back breakaway attempts from Gerrard Maretta Riley Prattson, but Horoho denied the first with a sprawling save and the second with his glove. Middlebury's Lee faked a defender and wristed a quick shot on goal during the second minute that Mella turned away. The Bantams skated four-on-three for the final 14.5 seconds of the game, but were unable to score as the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
 
Horoho made 29 stops in goal for Middlebury, while Mella saved 25 for Trinity.
