The no. 18 Notre Dame Fighting dropped the puck on their new year on Saturday night. For the second time this season, they hosted the season-long road warrior Arizona State Sun Devils for a non-conference series. Led by sixth year head coach Greg Powers, the Sun Devils split with the Irish a month ago, in a series where both games featured a total of nine goals.

A strength of the Sun Devils this year has been their power-play, and they went on the man advantage just over two minutes into the contest thanks to a high-sticking call on Max Ellis.
