DU retains the Gold Pan<\/strong>
\nThe roll that Denver continues to ride is the envy of  the rest of the college hockey world. A 14-game unbeaten streak (11-0-3) will make that happen.<\/p>\n

Second-ranked DU is the toast of college hockey in Colorado, too, after sweeping Colorado College in a home-and-home series this last weekend by identical 3-1 scores. Three different Denver players scored Friday in Colorado Springs before the same thing happened Saturday at Magness Arena.<\/p>\n

The sweep ensured that Denver retained the Gold Pan, the teams’ traveling trophy. DU has now swept the Tigers in five consecutive two-game series over the past three years. This is the 12th year overall in which Denver has won the Gold Pan.<\/p>\n

DU picked up its wins over CC without the Pioneers’ leading scorer, Henrik Borgstrom. The Denver Post<\/a> reported that Borgstrom missed the series with an as yet undiagnosed illness.<\/p>\n

Denver (11-2-3) should find itself hosting a No. 1 versus No. 2 battle later this week as current USCHO poll leader Minnesota-Duluth visits the Colorado capital. UMD (10-2-2) was idle this past weekend.<\/p>\n

CC (3-11) hits the road later this week to face Miami (3-8-4), which currently holds the last-place spot in the NCHC standings and has yet to win a league game this season.<\/p>\n

Hawks come through on grand stage<\/strong>
\nNinth-ranked North Dakota, which has had an often bumpy ride through the first half of this season, had a chance to make a big statement Saturday when the Fighting Hawks faced No. 3 Boston College at New York’s Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

At the end of the night, it was the Hawks saluting their fans from center ice inside the World’s Most Famous Arena following a 4-3 win over BC.<\/p>\n

UND led 2-0 after the second period on a pair of goals in that frame from freshman Tyson Jost. That stretch made a big difference as a five-goal third period leaned BC’s way. Trevor Olson’s goal for UND – the junior forward’s first in 57 games – with 2:01 remaining stood up as the game-winner.<\/p>\n

Hawks goaltender Cam Johnson played a big part in the win, making 28 saves and only conceding goals when BC was playing with extra attackers.<\/p>\n

It’s fair to say UND (8-5-3) needed this win, as the Hawks had only won two of their last 10 games prior to Saturday. Playing without star forward Brock Boeser for a third consecutive game, UND did what it had to do.<\/p>\n

The Hawks return home to prepare for two games in Grand Forks this next weekend against No. 16 Western Michigan (7-4-3). Speaking of which…<\/p>\n

Broncos, Huskies square off in Kalamazoo<\/strong>
\nWMU’s hockey team shared the local limelight this last week as the school’s football team won the Mid-American Conference championship in Detroit and locked up a spot in the Cotton Bowl. Back home, the Broncos’ icers played two big games of their own.<\/p>\n

An announced crowd of 1,776 was on hand Friday at Lawson Ice Arena when WMU fell 3-0 to No. 17 St. Cloud State in the teams’ series opener. Mikey Eyssimont scored the eventual game-winner 48 seconds into the game before two more SCSU goals in the final 4:04 put the result on ice.<\/p>\n

Western secured two NCHC points on Saturday by way of winning an overtime shootout following a 5-5 tie through 65 minutes of play. Five different WMU players scored in regulation before a Wade Allison goal in the second round of the shootout helped send Broncos fans home happy.<\/p>\n

St. Cloud can point to positives of its own from the weekend. After blanking the Broncos Friday night, SCSU went 3-for-5 on the power play Saturday, with two such goals from Jacob Benson coming 1:22 apart in the second period.<\/p>\n

Eyssimont produced a goal and two assists Saturday to cap what for the sophomore forward was a five-point weekend.<\/p>\n

SCSU (7-6-1) plays at home this weekend against an Omaha team (8-5-3) that has not lost once on the road this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
