His four shutouts this season are tied for the third-best total.

• He moved atop the program's all-time wins list with a 54-28-4 record to date as well as into second place with 2,443 career saves, including a single-season program record 964 this season. Scarfone is 25 saves short of the D1-era record established by Logan Drackett from 2017-21.
