Men’s hockey: Gophers rally to tie Michigan

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:31 GMT

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Several recent trends continued on Saturday as the Minnesota Gophers escaped Michigan with a 2-2 tie, grabbing four out of a possible six points in their weekend road series with the Wolverines.For example: Michigan took an early lead and scored on a power play. Minnesota rallied, twice, and took advantage of the Wolverines’ propensity to let late leads slip away. And the Gophers — for the second Saturday in a row — failed to score in a shootout, as Michigan grabbed the extra point.The Gophers (5-3-2 overall, 1-2-1-1 Big Ten) got goals from Brody Lamb and Jimmy Snuggerud, along with 37 saves from goalie Justen Close in the game. The come-from-behind effort drew praise from their coach.“I really liked us tonight. We got dragged into the fight by a very talented hockey team, and our guys battled their rear ends off,” Gophers coach Bob Motzko said in postgame comments. “We probably deserved a little better fate. I just give our guys credit. If that’s game 10 and it’s...
