As they conclude their first full NCAA season, ASU hockey saw a schedule with four non-NCAA opponents, the first of them being British Colombia’s Simon Fraser. SFU came in with a record of 15-3-0-2, which on paper, appears much better than the 10-19-3 of the Sun Devils. However, that daunting record did not phase the Devils at all, as they scored early and often en route to a 8-1 victory.
The man of the evening, Brinson Pasichnuk, started the scoring for the Devils early on in the first, as he gave ASU a 1-0 lead on a pass from Riley Simpson that found the stick of Pasichnuk and snuck it’s way into the net, a secondary assist was given to Brinson’s brother Steen, who got the puck to Simpson.
