So far, it looks like business as usual for the 2015 National Champions.
Minnesota battled out a 2-0 win against a tough Nittany Lions defense and goaltender Friday evening, then breezed to a 5-0 rout Saturday evening, in University Park for their opening weekend.
Friday's game saw more of a chess game between a strong offensive team and a determined defensive team. With the depth on offense that this Gophers team has, the Nittany Lions were smart to focus on the back end; they collapsed on top of goalie Celine Whitlinger and focused on trying to keep Minnesota to the outside as much as possible.
