Friday: Minnesota 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5; Saturday: Minnesota 5 Minnesota-Duluth 1

From UM Sports Information:

A four-goal opening period set the tone for the night and seven different players found the back of the net as No. 6 Minnesota men's hockey secured a 7-5, non-conference road win at Minnesota Duluth Friday night from AMSOIL Arena.

Connor Kurth's three-point night, including the eventual game-winning goal, helped Minnesota (3-1-0 overall) shut down the Bulldogs 5-1 (1-4-0 overall), backstopped by a 31-save effort from goaltender Liam Souliere. It was the first sweep at UMD since Oct. 2011 when the Gophers won back-to-back games by a 5-4 scoreline.
