Ohio State's great start was in full force Friday, with its best win of the year, defeating Minnesota, 6-4.

But the Gophers are proud team. And for a team expected to contend for a national championship, it showed why in bouncing back Saturday and getting a 4-2 win itself.

"We went to work tonight," Minnesota coach Bob Motzko told The Rink Live. "It wasn't all pretty early, but we hung in there, we kept with it, then you get rewarded."

The second period is where Minnesota took over, breaking open a tie game with late goals from Mason Nevers and Matthew Knies, while outshooting OSU, 10-5.
