Each week, USCHO.com will pick the top 10 moments from the past weekend in our Monday 10 feature.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Twelve \u2013 make that 21 \u2013 in a row<\/h4>\n

Denver’s road sweep of North Dakota improved the Pioneers to 12-0-0 on the season. With No. 8 Colorado College’s overtime loss and tie at No. 13 Western Michigan, and No. 17 Dartmouth’s 4-4 tie vs. Colgate, DU is the last team this season with an unblemished record.<\/p>\n

“It’s a really hard place to sweep,” said Denver coach David Carle. “Our first one-goal game of the year, our first 3-2 game of the year, and we feel fortunate to come out on the right side and come out of here with six points.”<\/p>\n

Denver’s last defeat was the penultimate game of the 2023-24 regular season, a 4-3 loss to Colorado College on March 8. The Pioneers’ current winning streak is 21 games.<\/p>\n

2. A Badger road sweep<\/h4>\n

It’s been a tough slog for Wisconsin in the first two months of the season, but the Badgers may have turned the corner with a sweep at No. 18 Penn State. Wisconsin prevailed with a 5-4 overtime win on Friday and a 6-3 win on Saturday. Before the weekend, the Badgers had not scored even three goals since an overtime win over Lindenwood on October 12.<\/p>\n

“Our starts have gotten better, our secondary scoring has gotten better,” Wisconsin coach Mike Hastings told the Wisconsin State Journal<\/i>. “And when we needed our power play to come through, it did.”<\/p>\n

Wisconsin improves to 4-8-0 overall and 3-5-0 in Big Ten play.<\/p>\n

3. Beavers upset the No. 3 Gophers<\/h4>\n

Bemidji State and Minnesota split a home-and-home Thursday\/Saturday series, with the home team winning both.<\/p>\n

The Golden Gophers won Thursday, 5-3, at 3M Arena at Mariucci, while Bemidji State took the Saturday night tilt at Sanford Center, 3-1. In the upset, Mattias Sholl made 38 saves and allowed just a 6-on-5 goal by the Gophers with 2:12 left.<\/p>\n

Kirklan Irey scored just 21 seconds into the game and the game-winning goal midway through the first period to lead the Beavers.<\/p>\n

It was the first victory for Bemidji over Minnesota on home ice.<\/p>\n
