His team was already down 1-0 only 32 seconds in, on a backhanded-shot goal from Minnesota’s Jaxon Nelson. First shift, first shot on goal, first tally on the scoreboard. If Michigan wanted to take the thousands of maroon-and-gold fans out of it, they needed to act fast.
“I just remember thinking on the bench, when (Matty) Beniers, Kent (Johnson) and (Brendan) Brisson went out, I was thinking, ‘That’d be huge if they scored right here,’” Duke said.
