Just trying to find some chemistry, I think. Not a lot they can do personnel-wise, with all the injuries. But some mixing and matching. 18-26-9 has looked pretty good in practice this week, in my opinion.
MSU penalty coming. Tripping against Blueger
Gophers score on the power play. Connor Reilly one-timer on the right side. Nice pass from Warning as he skated in.
Mavs not doing themselves any favors missing the net. Gaede just chipped one wide that started a Gophers rush the other way
Jordan Nelson with a nice move around a D for a shot on goal. Fairly harmless though.
Nelson with another chance. That one was a tough save for Wilcox
3-0 lead. This is where the Gophers really slammed the door defensively on teams last year.
4:31 left in the 2nd period. Shots are 22-18 for Minnesota.
MSU penalty coming. Interference against Gervais
Blueger got hit and is slow to get up. Not sure what happened. Coming off the ice doubled over and with help
Refs are having a discussion. I don't believe a penalty was called on the ice.
No penalty. Not sure what they said to McInnis, who's reporting back to Hastings.
Blueger is back on the bench now.
Also, Ferris State and Bowling Green tied 3-3 tonight.
Gophers have 53 seconds of power play time remaining to start the third period.
Mavericks have blocked 13 shots so far. Jutzi credited with three. Blueger has three shots on goal
Maybe the best scoring chance for the Mavericks. Leitner tries to go short side in low after best pressure of the game.
Minnesota penalty coming.
Wilcox made a really nice save on McInnis all alone in front after a nice feed from Leitner
Penalty now on MSU, Jordan Nelson.
Second elbowing call on him tonight
