Walker's Late Goal Forces Tie vs. #3/8 Minnesota State
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Sun Devil Hockey finished 2018 with a tie in regulation against No. 3/8 Minnesota State-Mankato (14-5-1), but won the shootout Saturday night in the consolation game of the Desert Hockey Classic Tournament at Gila River Arena.
With 29 seconds remaining in the game, sophomore forward Johnny Walker came up clutch as he finished a rebound from Brett Gruber into a wide open back door to tie it at 2. His 18th goal of the season extends his lead as the leading goal scorer in the nation, and surpasses his season total from 2017-18.
