Impact: Russell had gone nearly a month without
a start before getting the call in Vermont's visit to
Alfond Arena, and he turned in a gem in his Hockey East
debut. He stopped 29 of 30 shots and earned first-star
honors, leading the Catamounts to their 10th victory
of the season – and easily their most impressive
to this point.
