Two-goal efforts from Henrik Borgström and Jarid Lukosevicius lifted the #3 Denver Pioneers over top-ranked and previously undefeated St. Cloud State at Magness Arena Friday night.
The Pioneers (5-2-2, 1-2 NCHC) snapped their brief losing skid after being swept at Western Michigan last weekend, avoiding what would have been their first three-game losing streak since 2015-16. For the Huskies (7-1, 2-1) the loss could very well mean the loss of their #1 ranking, just one week after claiming the top spot.
Borgström grabbed the lead for DU past the midway point of the first period with a highlight reel goal, toe-dragging in front of SCSU goaltender Jeff Smith and putting the puck top shelf.
