For the second game of the series Minnesota switched to goaltender Sydney Scobee, as head coach Brad Frost has liked the way this arrangement pushes both Scobee and tandem goalie Alex Gulstene to improve. Ohio State continued on with freshman goaltender Andrea Braendli, who was instantly peppered with Minnesota shots when the game started. This was because OSU started the game on the penalty kill for a bench minor due to their illegal jerseys—NCAA rules require that numbers must be of a contrasting color to the jersey—which Madison Field served for the team. However, Minnesota was unable to convert with the skater advantage.
