The Notre Dame Fighting Irish returned to Compton Family Ice Arena Saturday to close out the series against the Minnesota Golden Gophers with a comeback. The Irish were hungry coming off an 8-2 loss Friday to the Gophers. However, the second time around, the Irish took it all the way to OT to earn the win.
First Period
After the home team killed off an early slashing penalty on Notre Dame’s Hunter Strand, Max Ellis put the Irish on the board with his fifteenth goal of the season. A string of penalties on members of both squads followed Ellis’ goal, but neither team capitalized on the power play.
