Freshman goaltender Justin Johnson earned his first win and shutout as a Golden Gopher, stopping 28-of-28 shots on the night. It was the first time a Minnesota goaltender tallied a shutout in his first game since Erik Day accomplished the feat Nov. 16, 1996, versus Michigan Tech. Eleven different Minnesota skaters tallied at least one point and five different skaters had a multi-point game.

Senior assistant captain Johnny Pohl ended the night with career-highs in points and assists with his five helpers in the game.

Three Weeks, Three Different Conferences

Family Ties
