Mittelstadt and Sadek Goals Not Enough Offense for Minnesota Minneapolis, Minn. — A lot of eyes were raised this fall when Tony Granato added a graduate transfer All-American goalie to the red team to the east. Even more eyes were raised as that goalie was benched in favor of sophomore Jack Berry on Saturday night.

Ann Arbor, Mich. — Minnesota boasts seven forwards with double-digits goal totals, but their top line of Tyler Sheehy, Rem Pitlick, and Justin Kloos leads the way, and did so Saturday by scoring three goals in a 4-1 win over Michigan in front of 5,522 at Yost Ice Arena .

Gophers Give Up Goal With 0.1 Seconds Left but Bounce Back with Kloos OT Goal Columbus, OH – There’s a saying in golf that ‘there’s no pictures on the scorecard’, meaning it is the end result that counts and not the way you arrived at it. Tonight, the Gophers (15-13-0 Overall, 10-2-0 B1G) are glad there are no pictures on their scorecard after a sloppy but ultimately victorious 5-4 effort against The Ohio State University […]
