We are back with part two of our three part season preview. This time we take a look at the ten defensemen on the Minnesota Golden Gophers roster for the 2020-21 season. Minnesota has two spots to fill in the every day lineup with the graduations of Tyler Nanne and Ryan Zuhlsdorf. While only six or seven can dress each game, all ten could see ice time at some point this season. But the core group of seven is pretty much set and is young with two juniors, three sophomores and two freshman who will look to make an immediate impact.
