Earlier this week, Arizona State head coach Greg Powers and his players had a sense that his team’s offensive zone struggles were nearing a breaking point. The Sun Devils had only scored two goals in 245 minutes of hockey.
“At some point, they are all going to drop,” said forward Sean Dhooghe of the goal drought. “...It’s taking the momentum from Michigan State, building this week in practice, getting better, and staying sharp and looking good and feeling good.”
Sure enough, the mindset for a winless ASU squad going into Saturday’s matchup with No. 14 Wisconsin didn’t waiver, and the dam finally broke.
