Fans saw the elite Irish penalty kill return to South Bend Saturday as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished their series against the Ohio State Buckeyes with a 5-1 win. Following a postponed Boston College game and a 4-2 loss in the series opener against tOSU, the Irish got into a rhythm and the team went 2 for 3 on the power play Saturday.
First Period
Notre Dame’s Nick Leivermann scored his team’s first goal about four minutes into play to earn his fourth goal of the season. Irish forward Ryder Rolston wasted no time adding to the momentum and found the back of the net not even two minutes later to earn the first Irish power play goal of the game.
