In the early stages of the college hockey season, No. 20 Minnesota faced off against No. 9 Minnesota-Duluth in Duluth. The Gophers, however, were overwhelmed by their hosts, suffering a 7-1 defeat. The only positive for the Gophers was a goal scored by Jacob Kvasnicka with just 62 seconds left in the first period. Despite this, Minnesota-Duluth dominated the game, scoring three power-play goals and four in total during the second period.
Minnesota's goaltenders, Luca Di Pasquo and Melvin Strahl, struggled throughout the game, with Di Pasquo facing 21 shots and Strahl facing 17. The Gophers failed to generate many scoring opportunities, managing only 25 shots on goal during the match. The teams will clash again on Saturday at 6 p.m. to wrap up their weekend series.
