Senior Bobby Nardella scored the only goal in a shootout as No. 2 Notre Dame advanced to the finals of the Ice Breaker Tournament, winning the shootout 1-0 after skating to a wild and wooly 6-6 tie through regulation and a five-minute overtime.<\/p>\n

Officially, the game will be recorded as a tie.<\/p>\n

The goal capped off a wild, back-and-forth nightcap at the 2018 Ice Breaker. Mercyhurst held leads of 2-1 and 4-2 before Notre Dame stormed back to grab leads of 5-4 and 6-5, before Stephen Ipri’s goal with 4:01 left in regulation forced overtime.<\/p>\n

Cal Burke scored a hat trick for Notre Dame, with all three goals coming in the third period. Burke post a game-high 10 shots.<\/p>\n

The Lakers were led by Taylor Best who posted two goals and two assists of his own.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame will face No. 4 Providence in Saturday’s championship game, the USCHO Game of the Week. Providence defeated Miami, 4-0, in the opening semifinal.<\/p>\n
