The Fighting Irish took to the Minneapolis ice to keep a good thing going Saturday following Friday’s 3-2 victory against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. By the end of the night, the Irish locked in a 2-1 win to claim the series.
First Period
Notre Dame’s Solag Bakich wasted no time setting the tone Saturday and scored the first Irish goal less than two minutes into the first period of play. By the end of the period, the Irish had doubled the Gophers’ 9 shots with 18 of their own.
Second Period
Several penalties in the second period changed the pace, but Notre Dame’s Max Ellis snagged a second goal for the Irish about halfway through.
