Pregame notes
The goaltender battle is Jakob Hellsten vs. Brandon Bussi. . . The only other change for either team is Dane Montgomery coming in for Brent Johnson, who served as the 19th skater Friday night. . . UND is wearing its black jerseys for the fifth time this season. It won the four previous games wearing them (at Quinnipiac, at St. Cloud State and at Colorado College twice).
