MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota found itself in a similar position as many games this year headed into the third. The Gophers outshot the Tigers 32-8 but clung to a 1-0 lead.
This time, the bounces went to Minnesota. The Golden Gophers shut out the Tigers 3-0 at Mariucci Arena Friday.
The Gophers first goal came when Patrick White scored with .2 seconds remaining on a fluke bounce off a dump-in pass by Nico Sacchetti. Howe went behind the net to play the puck, but it came of the boards right to White, who buried the puck past Howe, who was attempting to get back in position.
At 1:38 in the third period, a rebound tap-in by Jordan Schroeder put the Gophers up 2-0. Jacob Cepis took the initial shot in close. The puck found its way to the weak side, where Schroeder buried it past Joe Howe.
Josh Birkholz added a third goal at 11:36 on a great individual play. Birkholz held the zone and cheated in deep, firing a shot upper left corner over Howe’s blocker from 25 feet out.
Gopher goalie Alex Kangas made 26 saves.
