Ohio forward Diego Breckenridge gets ready to shoot the puck into Iowa State University's goal to score Ohio's second goal of the game on Dec. 4, 2015. Ohio won 5-3.
Ohio goalie Ryan Heltion gritted his teeth when he heard the word “shutout.” Then he collected himself and gave a predictable, team-first response.
“At the end of the day, as long as the boys win, that’s all that matters,” Heltion said.
He acted as if he’d been there before, which he had. It has just been a while.
Playing for the first time in a month and a half, Heltion defended the Bobcats in a 4-1 victory Friday night against Pittsburgh at Bird Arena.
