The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team played their penultimate home game of the regular season last night with the Minnesota Gophers visiting South Bend. In what was an evenly played game everywhere except the final score, Notre Dame was powered by a huge second period of four goals to beat one of the hottest teams and goalies in college hockey.
Game Summary: Notre Dame 6 - Minnesota 1
First Period
Both teams spent the first half of the first period trading chances without anything too dangerous coming for either team until Minnesota nearly took the lead with a goal front scramble that somehow stayed out of the net.
