It was a #HornsUp sweep as @MinnStMHockey grabbed the full three points on night two in the Soo. Highlights from the call on KTOE, including Jacob Bonkowski's first career point, Lemyre's 6th, and a 3-pointer from Evan Murr to cap a terrific weekend in the UP!

Mike Hastings reached 50 wins in 81 games, the fastest for an MSU coach in program history. A win tonight would give Strand his 50th in 84 games on the bench.

MSU's 49 SOG tonight marks the 3rd-most recorded in regulation in a loss in program history. The xG was 7.5-3.1 favoring MSU.
The defense has some things to clean up tomorrow, but the offense deserved more than two goals and moved the puck really well.
