Minnesota State scored four first period goals — two of them power play markers by Jon Kalinski — en route to a 7-0 smashing of Alabama-Huntsville Friday night.
Kalinski gave the Mavs a 2-0 lead 8:01 of the first. Jason Wiley and Rylan Galiardi added first period goals. For Galiardi, it was his first collegiate tally. Kael Mouillierat had a pair of assists in the opening 20 minutes.
Jerad Stewart scored the only goal in the second period on a pass from Brian Kilburg.
Geoff Irwin added another power play goal at 4:42 of the third. Galiardi earned the only assist. Kilburg capped scoring for the Mavericks at 13:00 on an even strength tally. Freshmen Kurt Davis and Andy Sackrison had assists.
Kalinski (2-0--2), Davis (0-2--2), Galiardi (1-1--2), Mouillerat (0-2--2) and Kilburg (1-1--2) all had multi-point nights for the Mavericks.
Mike Zacharias made 18 saves to earn his second consecutive shutout. His shutout streak now stands at 162:17. It was the first time MSU has had consecutive road shutouts since the Mavericks blanked Gustavus and Hamline in 1986-87.
Game two of the series is scheduled for 3:07 p.m.
