Season arc
- The Saints started well, winning four of their first six games. Offense was solid early, averaging more than 3 goals per game, and goaltender Mason Kucenski posted a .930 save percentage in the opening weeks.
- Trouble followed as they faced tougher competition. They hit a nine-game losing streak, scoring only eight goals in that stretch and dropping near the bottom of national rankings.
- Midseason roster change: leading scorer Tomáš Mazura left after the fall semester to pursue a professional opportunity. Caden Casey joined as a replacement, but the offense remained stagnant, finishing last in the ECAC and among the worst in the nation.
- By December they were effectively out of the playoff race, though they still had moments of note. The Saints upset three ranked teams after winter break—Dartmouth (#13), Clarkson, and Cornell—which tangled those teams in the tournament bubble and helped keep their own postseason hopes alive for a time.
- The season ended with a four-game losing streak entering the postseason.

Playoffs
- In the first round, St. Lawrence faced Dartmouth. The Saints were defeated 6–2, ending their season. Despite a late-season spark, the team could not overcome the Green’s offense, and goaltender Kucenski allowed four goals on 37 shots, with two empty-net goals sealing the win for Dartmouth.
