MINNEAPOLIS – A pair of Gophers seniors have been honored by the Big Ten Conference following last week's sweep at Michigan State as Scott Reedy has been named the Big Ten First Star of the Week and Jack LaFontaine has earned Big Ten Third Star of the Week honors.
A native of Prior Lake, Minn., Reedy tied for the Big Ten scoring lead over the last week with four points (two goals, two assists) after posting back-to-back multi-point games against the Spartans. The San Jose Sharks prospect leads Minnesota with seven points and five goals this season while the forward is one goal off the NCAA lead this year. The forward leads the nation with three game-winning goals (Reedy has contributed to the deciding goal four times this year) and has found the net in five of Minnesota's six games this season.
A native of Mississauga, Ontario, LaFontaine improved to 6-0-0 on the season and extended his winning streak to eight-straight games after guiding Minnesota to its third-straight Big Ten sweep last week at Michigan State. The first goalie in the nation to win six games this year, the senior ranks first in the nation in save percentage (.956) and GAA (1.17) among NCAA goalies with more than two starts this year. The alternate captain has started 14-straight games and has allowed two goals or fewer in each of his last 11 starts. The Carolina Hurricanes prospect was named the national goaltender of the month for November the Hockey Commissioners Association.
With a 6-0-0 record, the Maroon & Gold are off to the program's best start since the 2001-02 season.
Minnesota closes out the first half with a two-game Big Ten series at Michigan – Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 7:00 p.m. CT and Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 5:30 p.m. CT. Both games will be televised on the Big Ten Network and streamed on the FOX Sports App with the radio broadcast on 1130 KTLK-AM/103.5 FM.
