The Notre Dame Fighting Irish returned to Compton Family Ice Arena Sunday to redeem Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Niagara University Purple Eagles. The Irish finished out the series with a 5-0 W, the first shutout of netminder Ryan Bischel’s career, and a more defined flow despite Notre Dame players spending quite a bit of time in the penalty box.
First Period
The Irish wasted no time getting after it and got on the board with a goal from Cam Burke less than a minute into play. A holding penalty on Niagara’s Albin Nilsson provided the sole power play opportunity of the period, but the Irish failed to capitalize.
