Roman Augustoviz is covering Gophers hockey this season for a third year. Coach Don Lucia's team finished seventh and fifth in the WCHA his first two years on the beat, but it’s not his fault. Occasionally, Roman will write about other Gopher sports such as volleyball, wrestling, cross country, track-and-field and baseball.

The Gophers lines for the home opener vs. Denver on Friday:

First line/ Mike Carman with Jordan Schroeder and Jay Barriball

Second/ Patrick White with Mike Hoeffel and Ryan Flynn ... no changes there from last game

Third/ Nico Sacchetti with Tony Lucia and Taylor Matson ... Matson replaces Jake Hansen, who is not in the lineup

Fourth/ Zach Budish with Joe Miller and Josh Birkholz ... Budish moves from wing to center. Birkholz back in lineup after sitting out one game.

Defensive pairs ... There are all the same

First/ Nick Leddy and David Fischer

Second/ Cade Fairchild and Aaron Ness

Third/ Seth Helgeson and Kevin Wehrs

Goalie ... No early word. My educated guess is Alex Kangas.
