Casey Nelson has an upper-body injury. He got hurt and missed some time on Saturday against Anchorage.
Ferris State's up 4-0 after 1 period at Lake Superior ... Bowling Green leads Huntsville 1-0 midway through the 2nd. Bemidji State and Michigan Tech are scoreless in the 2nd
Decent student crowd 7 minutes until faceoff. Lots of purple seats though.
NMU starters: Dahlstrom, Epp, Maschmeyer, Vigier, Seckel, Daugherty
MSU starters: Huggins, Jutzi, Foguth, Leitner, Grant, Gervais
LaFontaine fires wide, hits the side of the net on a good chance after an NMU turnover
Nice save by Dahlstrom after a quick shot by Stepan. MSU leads the SOG 5-2 at the first media timeout
Nice pic, Pat. "He went to Stomper"
Let's see how the Mavs respond. Second periods haven't been their strength this season.
Dahlstrom stacks the pads and slides out to take away a scoring chance for LaFontaine. Good play. LaFontaine and Lehrke with some nice passing too
Dahlstrom aggressive again, this time taking away a McInnis chance
Good shift by Gaede there. Big center-ice hit and then good play below the goal line. Working hard
Vigier, NMU's top scorer, has some wheels. 5-foot-8 but can move. Has 10 goals and 15 pts this season
Media time out. Shots are 4-0 this period for MSU, according to the board
NMU trying to work the icing and get changes. Not happening
The board must not have been right. Updated, it says 21-8. So 5-3 for Mavs this period in SOG
Another good shift by Stepan & Co.
Interference against Mavs' Jordan Nelson.
Offensive zone penalty after what had been a good shift by that line
NMU's power play has been good this season, but no C.J. Ludwig
But this will help ... Brett Stern goes to the box for a hit in the corner. Mavs bench sure doesn't like the call here
Are they discussing a 5 here? What?
Calling 2 for boarding, it appears
NMU gets 1:06 of 5x3 time
Puck trickles behind Huggins but sits at the pipe. Mavs do a good job of covering up the crease area and getting the puck to safety
We have a marriage proposal at the MSU hockey game. #shesaidyes #wedontneednokisscamby Shane Frederick via twitter 12/7/2013 2:16:49 AM
