The No. 6 Mavs topped the St. Cloud State Huskies Friday night 3-0 in front of 5,909 fans at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn. The win moves the Mavs to 8-1 on the season and 5-0 in the WCHA.
Freshman forward Brock Montpetit got things started for the Mavs scoring at the 5:20 mark in the first period off an assist by freshman forward Ryan Walters.
"It's all [reliant on] Brock Montpetit," said UNO head coach Dean Blais. "That's where it starts - with the centermen."
Montpetit's second goal as a Mav was followed nearly nine minutes later when sophomore forward Terry Broadhurst scored his fourth goal of the season on assists by freshman forward Matt White and sophomore
defender Bryce Aneloski, giving the Mavs a 2-0 lead.

In the second period, Walters scored his third goal as a Mav on assists by freshman forward Zahn Raubenheimer and senior defender Pasko Skarica. The Rosemount, Minn. native's goal put the Mavs up 3-0 at the 10:53 mark.
"Those three freshmen (Montpetit, Raubenheimer, and Walters) are going to be something special," said Blais. "I don't know how long we'll keep them together, but so far it's working."
Sophomore goaltender John Faulkner proved he didn't need much scoring support, posting his second career shutout as a Mav. Faulkner, UNO's all-time leader in goals against average and save percentage, stopped all 23 shots in the Mavs 3-0 victory.
Prior to Friday night, UNO had been 0-4 all-time against the Huskies, though the two teams hadn't met since 1999. The Mavs outshot the Huskies 32-23 Friday night..
UNO is back in action tomorrow night against the Huskies. Game time is set for 7:07 p.m. and can be heard on KVNO 90.7 FM.
UNO sophomore goaltender John Faulkner gave himself some extra cushion in UNO's record book with his shutout performance Friday night against the Huskies. The reigning WCHA Defensive Player of the Week ranks first all-time in both save percentage and gaols against average.
