UND 4, Colorado College 3, OT
The story: Trailing by a goal with less than six minutes to go in the third period, UND's Jordan Kawaguchi scored the game-tying goal with 5:46 to go in regulation and Ludvig Hoff re-directed a Jacob Bernard-Docker point shot with 45 seconds left in overtime to give UND a much-needed NCHC victory. Nick Jones and Jordan Kawaguchi each had a goal and an assist in the game for UND.
Three stars: 1. Nick Jones, UND, 1 goal, 1 assist; 2. Ludvig Hoff, UND, game-winning goal; 3. Jordan Kawaguchi, UND, goal, assist.
Did you notice? UND has won two games in overtime this season and both were shots by Jacob Bernard-Docker from almost the same spot on the ice. His shot went directly in the net against Wisconsin. This one was re-directed by Hoff.
Lineup notes: UND was without forwards Grant Mismash and Joel Janatuinen, defenseman Jonny Tychonick and goalie Peter Thome. The lone healthy scratch for UND was Josh Rieger. Tychonick missed his fifth-straight game, while Mismash and Janatuinen missed their second-straight. Colorado College played its first game without Nick Halloran, who announced Thursday that he's out for the season with a lower-body injury.
