UNO leads 2-1 after period 2
Andrew Schmit gets the first goal of his career at 12:33 of the second and the Mavs hold the lead for the final 7 and 1/2 minutes. A melee near the UNO bench on a delayed penalty ended in Alex Simonson running into UMD goaltender Reiter on his way to the bench for the extra attacker. Three Mavs go to the box, one Bulldog on two 2 minute minors.
The Mavs still have 1:54 off the penalty to kill to start the third and trail in shots 27-12

Second Period All Tied 1-1
Mavs got a power play goal in the first but UMD answered to start the second period. The Mavs have killed a penalty and just went scoreless on their own chance. Montpetit had a step on the D breaking into the offensive zone and got a breakaway but put his chance high.
Mavs being outshot 17-9 right now.

Mavs Lose Sellout Game 6-2
Duluth's J.T. Brown gets a hat trick and four points to lead the Bulldogs to a 5-2 victory. Too many mistakes to start the game killed UNO in this one. Two goals scored within a minute of each other got Duluth up 2-0 less than two minutes in then the Bulldogs did it again scoring two in less than a minute in the third period.
UNO appeared to have the momentum after Faulkner stopped a penalty shot. Yet a faceoff win then a laser from Brown just a split second later proved to be the difference.
Kind of a tough pill to swallow when the program gets a national tv audience and a packed house. It will be interesting to hear what the players and Blais have to say after the game.

Mavs and Bulldogs Tied 2-2 after Two
22 seconds into the second Montpetit gets the Mavs on the board, putting a sweet deke on goaltender Reiter then sliding it past the right leg as Reiter was sprawled out on the ice. The second goal came just five minutes later when UNO finally got a break on a loose puck in the crease.
Off of one of the many odd-man rushes created to start the second period, the loose puck finds Matt White who puts it five hole to tie it at 2. Duluth was called for slashing on the play but the Mavs couldn't get a third goal to take the lead on the ensuing power play.
UNO's defense was not making the same mistakes as in the first period and it was rather evident. Faulkner faced more shots in the second than he did in the first but the shots weren't as good of quality on the first.
Twice Faulkner made excellent saves, coming out of the net to cut down the angle on a wide-open shot and getting a pad on it. Later he showed off some nifty glove work and kept the score 2-2.
Montpetit and Hendrickson both went to the box to end the second, starting the third 4 on 4

UNO Down 0-2 After One Period
With a national tv audience and a packed house I'm not sure how this could have started any worse. Duluth gets two goals before the game is three minutes old then Josh Archibald is called for a 5 minute major for checking from behind and given a game misconduct.
Faulkner's first goal could have been prevented. A giant rebound came out to the slot and Brown put it easily into an open net. His second was a pretty good move from DeLisle to beat Faulkner high on the stick side.
Still unsure about how serious Archibald's hit was. The ref that made the call was the one furthest away. On the five minute major UNO finally caught a break and had the final rush end in a shot that caromed off the goalpost with an empty net.
The Mavs really only had one serious scoring chance and Montpetit ruined the only power play chance when he got called for obstruction 39 seconds into UNO's power play. Unsure if maybe the crowd and the sellout got the boys nervous. It's probably more than Duluth is #1 in the nation and playing like it.

Mavs lead 2-1 after 1st period
Quinnipiac outshot UNO 12-11 in the first but the Mavs take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. Despite the shot difference UNO had the better of the chances. It looked like the Mavs might put this one away early after taking a 1-0 lead on the power play but they couldn't stay out of the box. Andrew Schmit's goaltender interference call on the rush lead to a Quinnipiac goal three seconds into their power play.
The Mavs earned another chance at the end of the period and will start the second period with 1:50 of power play remaining. Massa has looked very good in goal thus far.

Mavs and Bobcats skate to 2-2 Tie
Uno gets three shots in OT - Quinnipiac one but no dice for either side
Quinnipiac up 2-1 Second Intermission
UNO had a large territorial and possession advantage for the first 15 minutes of the second but couldn't get anything on the scoreboard. The game kind of settled into a borefest until a 4 on 4 produced some open ice and several scoring chances.
Quinnipiac only got 5 shots in the second but scored on one, the Mavs only got 8 shots and got none past Hartzell. In real serious doo doo now. The Mavs nonconferenc record is not good. This is the only nonconference series they have left and with difficult conference games ahead they really need a sweep here to build a tournament resume. If UNO can't get even tonight and get two wins they had better hope they run through the WCHA or win the postseason tournament.

Mavs and bobcats tied 1-1 after First Period
Mavs outshot the Bobcats 12-6 in the first period and end the first 10 minutes tied 1-1. UNO got to their game pretty early, very aggressive on the forecheck and created a lot of opportunities. Two or three pileups at the UNO net with a loose puck but it never bounced to a Mav player.
Quinnipiac got the bounce- on the break the puck was blindly thrown at the UNO net. It came cross-crease to Russell Goodman who put it into an open net at 8:39.
The Mavs answered back at 16:04. On a break Johnnie Searfoss had the puck on the near wall, threw it towards Brent Gwidt streaking toward the Bobcat cage. The puck found Gwidt perfectly and he roofed it past goalie Hartzell to make it 1-1.
UNO starts out 2nd period on the penalty kill.
Though UNO is getting a lot of chances collapsing on the Quinnipiac net it's creating some breakouts for the Bobcats.

Mavs and Huskies tied 2-2 after two
St. Cloud returned the favor late in the second and scored with just a minute left to tie it 2-2. A perfect pass from Broadhurst to White coming down the slot got UNO the 2-1 lead.
Saint Cloud and UNO tied 1-1 after one
Huskies give up a killer goal with under 10 seconds remaining in the period. Montpetit was allowed to skate in on the near faceoff dot and fired a shot that beat Faragher low on the stick side.
St. Cloud is outshooting the Mavs 12-6 but I counted UNO as having an advantage in scoring chances in the first, 5-4. Belfour looking good so far. Like last night, unable to sustain much offensive zone time in the first period.

UNO wins 4-3
Weathered a little bit of a storm in the middle of the period but came out with the victory. Hudson may have had the strongest game of his season. Broadhurst another two goals, almost had a hat trick but couldn't quite get the puck in a good position from White on the empty net.
Massa had to be good at times and was. Seemed like there was a little trouble when defensemen would try to start the break out from behind the UNO net. A little indecision often led to a Saint Cloud player forcing the issue and often forcing turnovers.
Interesting to see how an afternoon game goes tomorrow.
