Game 2: #15 Minnesota at #10 MSU IN GAME

One period in the books here at the Alltel Center and the Gophers lead 1-0 on a goal that came off a scrum in front of the net. UM's Alex Kangas looks to be sharp again tonight as he robbed several quality chances for the Mavericks early. Mike Zacharias also made a few very nice saves, but MSU looked a little flat and hopefully will come out with more jump in the following periods.

1st Period Scoring Summary
6:07 - Bostrom (Pohl, Wehrs) 1-0 UM

The second period, like most this weekend, was scoreless. The Gophers seemed to control the play and are out-shooting the Mavericks 25-12. MSU opens the third period with 1:24 of power-play time and they will need to do something with it if they want to get back in this game.

2nd Period Scoring Summary
No Scoring

Were going to overtime yet again tonight as MSU tied the game on an Andrew Sackrison power-play goal. He took a nice feed from Geoff Irwin and beat Kangas glove side with the one-timer. MSU proceeded to come to life for the first time all night after that and a big penalty kill a few minutes later. Buckle your seat belts, here we go again.

3rd Period Scoring Summary
11:09 - Sackrison (Irwin, Hanson) PPG 1-1

Mike Carman ended the game at 7:33 of overtime when his wrist shot hit the cross bar and bounced passed Zacharias. This sets up a third game tomorrow night here at the Alltel Center with the winner advancing to the WCHA Final Five.

Overtime Scoring Summary
7:33 - Carman (Peltier) 2-1 UM
