Minnesota Rally Comes Up Short in 3-2 Finale
11/29/2019 11:17:00 PM | Men's Hockey
MINNEAPOLIS – A third period rally came up just short on Friday night as the Gopher Hockey program fell 3-2 to No. 3 North Dakota at 3M Arena at Mariucci.Â
Minnesota (5-8-3 overall, 2-3-3-2 Big Ten) picked up goals from Tyler Nanne to open the night and Ben Meyers to close the night, but North Dakota (12-1-2, 5-0-1-1 NCHC) sandwiched three goals in between the Maroon & Gold tallies to earn the win.Â
Nanne opened the night with his second of the year, scoring an unassisted, 4-on-4 goal in the first period. Meyers brought the Gophers back within a goal during the third period, scoring for the second-straight game with a power-play goal set up by Sammy Walker and Blake McLaughlin.Â
The Gophers outshot North Dakota 25-22 on the night while going 1-for-3 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill.Â
Jared Moe fell to 3-4-1 on the year for Minnesota, making 19 saves on 22 shots. Adam Scheel made 23 saves on 25 shots to improve to 12-1-2.Â
Notable
Scott Reedy's career-best, five-game point streak came to an end a night after his career-best, three-game goal streak came to an end.Â
Up Next: Road Trip to Ohio State
The Gophers close out the first half next weekend with a two-game, Big Ten series at Ohio State.Â
