That play started in the Mavs' D zone. Anchorage had a shot and Huggins left a big rebound. But a good defensive play by Lafontaine prevented a goal and the rush started the other way.
LaFontaine (?) hits the crossbar on a pretty play with Leitner and Lehrke
Some pretty passing there.
Ferris State leads Northern Michigan 3-0 early in the third period, Huntsville trails Notre Dame 4-2 in the 2nd
Bemidji State trails Miami 1-0 in the first
McInnis with a nice chance outside a scramble in front but Gunderson gloves it. Needed a little more air under that puck.
Another Anchorage penalty coming as Stepan gets hooked in front. Lots of good pressure by his line there.
MSU goal. LaFontaine from the slot on a nice pass from Blueger. One-timer. Wow.
MSU is really coming back hard on defense. Impressive. But you have to play that way.
Refs missed an interference call
1:09 to play and Anchorage scores. Rebound, second shot off Huggins' back, it appeared.
Some not-so-good play all around there.
Looks like Ferris is about to win again. 10-game unbeaten streak now, doing what a lot of folks thought MSU was going to do this year.
Bowling Green and Lake Superior are tied 3-3 in the third.
Second period underway in Mankato
Big hit by Carter Foguth leads to Anchorage icing the puck
Ummmm ... Foguth blatantly tripped and no call. He had the puck, had a step on a guy and just, uh, tripped.
Good fourth-line work there. Jordan Nelson hustling to chase down a loose puck. Mavs get a couple of shots.
MSU penalty coming, and UAA scores during the delay. There will be power play too.
Couple of quick back-to-back saves by Huggins
Mavericks kill the penalty
Not sure how that went in. But a Flanagan shot from the wall somehow gives MSU the 3-2 lead. That line was gassed too. Needed to get off the ice but had a rush.
Gervais is going to go to the box for interference after fanning on a shot from up top. Prevented a possible breakaway.
And the penalty ends just like that as UAA's Friesen gets called for holding on the faceoff
Teams skating 4x4 for almost 2 minutes
Good work by Gaede to outskate an icing.
Huggins just got run over. Not sure if the guy got checked into him. But ... ouch
Good scoring chance by the Leitner line, trying to seal the deal.
Another good scoring chance and some heads-up play by Lehrke on the rush to use his D. Lots of health issues early on but was he as big a missing piece as it appears?

That was the last media timeout. 3:52 left
2:32 to play. Mavs ice the puck. Gervais needs to be aware of where he is on the ice there.
Leitner makes a nice no-stick slide to get the puck into the O-zone. Good play too because he turned it over in neutral
Huggins makes a huge save with 2 seconds left. Woah.
Mavs win 3-2. Tough, grind-it-out game.
Thanks for checking in. See you tomorrow.
