#15 Minnesota at #10 MSU IN GAME

The first period was scoreless with each team getting some good chances. The Gophers had four power plays but the Mavericks did an excellent job killing them off and even had probably the best scoring chance of the period on a shorthanded chance in front for Zach Harrison. The energy was sustained in the building and on the ice throughout the period, and we should be in for a wild ride the rest of the game.

No Scoring

No scoring again in the second, as Alex Kangas is single-handedly keeping his team in this game. MSU is out-shooting Minnesota 21-9, and it sets us up for a very exciting third period.

2nt Period Scoring Summary
No Scoring

Were going to overtime here in Mankato. Both teams have had plenty of chances to win it but Mike Zacharias and Alex Kangas have both played very well. The Mavericks have probably been the better team tonight, but the team to make the first mistake will be the ones on the losing end of this one.

3rd Period Scoring Summary
No Scoring

These teams are giving it everything they've got in what has to be one of the best games of the year in college hockey. We will play another overtime and see which team can outlast the other. Jared Stewart appeared to score the winning goal but the referee ruled that he kicked the puck in the net causing the goal to be disallowed.

Scoring Summary
No Scoring

The Mavericks were called for too many men on the ice late in the second overtime to put them on the penalty kill yet again. It turned out to be just what MSU needed, as Jon Kalinski and Trevor Bruess broke a 2-on-1. Kalinski walked around the sliding defender and slid it across to Bruess who finished this marathon game. It was a pretty goal to finish a well-played game, and tomorrow night should be another great one.
