Friday night Minnesota dropped the puck against St. Cloud in to start the WCHA first round, a best of three game series. The game starts off in Minnesota’s zone for the first minute or two of play without the Huskies getting a shot on goal, though bodies do keep hitting the ice, and then the Gophers start their attack and get about five shots on Emma Polusny in goal. Lindsay Agnew elbowed Suvi Ollikainen as she skated by and dropped her like a stone without a call.
Julia Tylke had something of a breakaway with a shot on goal that Sidney Peters stopped, but didn’t initially clear.
