Rem Pitlick had two goals and an assist and Tyler Sheehy had a goal and two assists — including a helper on Brent Gates Jr.’s game-winning goal — as No. 12 Minnesota sailed past No. 17 Wisconsin, 7-1, to complete a two-game road sweep of the Badgers.<\/p>\n
The Golden Gophers converted 3-of-7 power-play opportunities as the teams combined for 36 penalty minutes, evenly divided.<\/p>\n
Leon Bristedt scored just 1:07 into the first period to give the Gophers the very early 1-0 lead, and Minnesota led 3-1 after one on Bristedt’s opener, Gates’ game-winner at 9:48, and Tyler Nanne’s four-on-three power-play goal at 15:38. Trent Frederic scored at 18:47 in the first for Wisconsin, his 15th of the season.<\/p>\n
Pitlick’s goals bookended the second period, an even-strength marker at 1:44 and another on the power play at 18:36. Sheehy made it 6-1 at 10:29 in the third, a four-on-four goal, and at 15:13, Jack Ramsey had Minnesota’s third power-play goal of the night.<\/p>\n
Mat Robson had 23 saves in his fifth win of the season. Jack Berry started the night in net for Wisconsin, but was replaced by Kyle Hayton at 15:38 in the first after Berry surrendered the first three goals. Minnesota scored four times on Hayton, but Berry earns the loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
