Box Score

Huskies fall 4-0 in second shutout defeat of the season

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Men's Hockey (3-6-1, 1-3-1 NCHC) dropped its series opener with No. 7 Minnesota Duluth (8-3-2, 3-2-0 NCHC), 4-0, on Friday night at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud. The Bulldogs scored a goal each period before finishing the game with an empty net score.

The Huskies committed three penalties in the first period, which led to a Bulldog power play goal midway through the period and a goal shortly after a power play finished early in the second period. The Huskies controlled play at times in the middle frame but were unable to find the back of the net against Bulldog goaltender Carl Axelsson.

Early in the third period, the Huskies were attempting a pass in front of its own net when a Bulldog got his stick on the puck, causing a bad bounce that made it over the goal line for UMD's third goal. An empty net goal in the final minutes capped the score at 4-0.
