His Impact: The Dartmouth Big Green stand 11th in ECAC Hockey with just seven points from 11 league games, but they have strong reason to believe that they're a much better team than that record indicates and are poised for a better second half of the league schedule.

For evidence, start with senior goalie Mike Devine, who led the Big Green to a pair of wins against Hockey East opponents Boston University and New Hampshire last week to help get Dartmouth back to .500 with an 8-8-3 overall record. Devine stopped 85 shots in those two games, including 54 against UNH in the annual Battle for the RiverStone in Manchester, N.H.

Devine has won three of his last four starts and all three wins have come against notable opposition — Clarkson, Boston University, and New Hampshire.
