The Sun Devils’ duo of Hobey Baker award nominees, Johnny Walker and Joey Daccord, led the team to victory Saturday night, with two goals from Walker and the NCAA-best 7th shutout of the season from Daccord.
“Tonight was a great team effort,” ASU coach Greg Powers said, per Arizona State Athletics. “Great job in net by [Daccord], some big goals by Johnny, and guys played great on the penalty kill.”
ASU definitely needed the penalty killing units to be focused Saturday, as the team was shorthanded eight times over the course of the game.
Neither team managed to score in the first 20 minutes, with each putting up at least nine shots on goal in the first period.
