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!

After last night's 2-goal game, the 2nd of his career, @MinnStMHockey blue-liner Evan Murr ranks t-3rd in the country in goals by a defenseman. He's also averaging 23 minutes of ice time per night, which ranks in the top-20 in the NCAA.

Avert your eyes if you don't like advanced stats (read: more information always to be taken in context)

Much like last season, @ccha.bsky.social is getting great goaltending this year with the league touting 3 of the top-12 in the NCAA by expected Goals Saved above average (xGA+/-)

The Mavs can't get it done in OT, but take at least a point on both nights vs the Tommies. St. Cloud native Jack Smith had the highlight of the night, scoring off a Tristan Lemyre feed with 1:13 to go to send it to the extra period for @minnstmhockey.bsky.social. Highlights ⬇️

HC Luke Strand is one win shy of reaching 5️⃣ 0️⃣ as the head coach of @MinnStMHockey.

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.

How sweep it is!🧹 With four other top-20 teams losing to unranked teams elsewhere this weekend, #20 @minnstmhockey.bsky.social lean on two power play goals to hold steady and finish a sweep of RPI. Felikss Gavars and Charlie Lurie each scored a man up in the comeback win. Highlights⬇️

After yesterday, the @minnstmhockey.bsky.social PP% is at 35% (9-26), 4th best in the country.

It’s also been done impressively with seven different goal-scorers on the man advantage. Only six other teams in college hockey even have 7+ PP goals TOTAL.

Home game☝️, home win ☝️. @MinnStMHockey gave the fans plenty to cheer about as they doubled up the Engineers in shots in a 4-2 win to start the home slate. It was the first Maverick goals for Jack Smith and Tristan Lemyre!

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.
