Despite trailing by two goals, Denver rallied with an extra-attacker goal in the closing seconds to earn a 2-2 tie at Omaha. The Pioneers took the extra point in the NCHC standings with a 3-on-3 overtime goal from Michael Davies. (Photo: Omaha Athletics)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bobby Brink’s goal with 13.8 seconds remaining in regulation forced overtime before Michael Davies tallied in 3-on-3 overtime as No. 4 Denver took four-of-six NCHC road points from Omaha on the weekend.<\/p>\n

The game will officially be recorded as a tie for NCAA purposes, one night after the teams skated to a 1-1 tie by Denver, where the extra point was won by the Pioneers in a sudden-death shootout at the completion of the overtime periods.<\/p>\n

Denver never led on the evening as Taylor Ward gave Omaha the lead at 18:45 of the first and teammate Tristan Keck doubled that lead 51 seconds later.<\/p>\n

Cole Guttman scored early in the second to cut the lead to one, which is how the game stood until the Pioneers pulled their netminder for the extra attacker and Brink worked his magic.<\/p>\n

The four points on the weekend combined with Minnesota Duluth being swept at the hand of St. Cloud State propels the Pioneers into a tie for second place with the Bulldogs. Both teams still trail first-place, North Dakota, a winner on Saturday over Miami, by eight points.<\/p>\n
