Friday night kicked off the first Minnesota-St. Cloud series of the season. This time round both series are a home and away game, with tonight’s game being held at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud. Saturday’s game will be held at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis, after which the Gophers will host a free open skate on Ridder ice, which will be a bring your own skates event.
The first shot of the game occurred when Olivia Knowles fed the puck to Nicole Schammel and she scored on goaltender Emma Polusny at 1:19. Sarah Potomak tried to follow this goal up with one of her own, but was denied on an up close and personal shot.
