It was a clinic by the Mahtomedi Zephyrs from nearly start to finish. Josh Campbell got his 1st Varsity shutout as he watch his team pour on the shots on Thief River Falls goaltender Nick Corneliusen to open the festivities on Hockey Day Minnesota.
The first period featured a lot of heavy hitting from the Prowlers. The Zephyrs, however, kept forcing the pace into the TRF end. Sam Lapadat would score his first career goal to open the scoring on Hockey Day Minnesota. Nikolai Dulak’s work around the net allowed him to center the puck for Lapadat on the weak side for an easy tap-in goal.
