While nowhere near "must-win" territory, last weekend's games against Penn State gave the Sun Devils a rude awakening to open the season.
Friday's matchup with Notre Dame provided the opportunity for a "get right" game, and the Devils took some much needed steps in the right direction, though still not without areas of opportunity.
Tonight's game had a little extra excitement, seeing Samuel Urban get his first career start, representing the goaltender of the future for the Sun Devils.
The Irish started beating a path to the penalty box early, giving the Devils nearly 4 minutes of power play time in the first 10 minutes, but the Devils were unable to capitalize on either opportunity.
