The No. 2-ranked Minnesota Gophers hockey team (6-2, 11-5) split a non-conference series this weekend against Arizona State University at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, the shared home with the Arizona Coyotes.
The Gophers had the lead all night long in Friday’s 3-2 win over Arizona State with goals from Jaxon Nelson, Bryce Brodzinski and Logan Cooley. But it didn’t translate in Saturday night’s back-and-forth contest that resulted in a 6-5 loss for the Gophers in overtime — ending their four game win streak — after the Sun Devils scored with just over three minutes left to extend the game to an extra session.
