Choukri scored both goals for the Red Dragons on Saturday in a 2-0 win at Potsdam, knocking a shot into the bottom right corner of the net for the game winner in the 68th minute and then adding an insurance goal in the 73rd minute to secure the win. The senior also netted Cortland's third goal in a 3-1 victory on the road at Oswego on Wednesday, blasting a left-footed shot from outside of the penalty area into the top left corner of the net.

He did not allow a goal in open play while sporting a 0.50 goals against average, a .857 save percentage, and one shutout. The junior stopped all four shots he faced in a 2-0 win at Potsdam on Saturday, including three saves with the game still scoreless. Ott also made two saves in a 3-1 victory at Oswego on Wednesday, with the only goal allowed coming on a penalty kick.
