Make it two more Mittelstadt brothers who plan to play for the Gophers men's hockey team.
Eden Prairie's John Mittelstadt, who'll be a high school junior this fall, and Luke Mittelstadt, who'll be a sophomore, both announced via Twitter on Sunday that they have committed to play for the Gophers. They follow in the footsteps of their brother, Casey, who spent the 2017-18 season with the Gophers before signing with the Buffalo Sabres, who made him a first-round draft pick in 2017.
John, 16, is a forward who had seven goals and nine assists in 26 games for the Eagles last season. Luke, 15, is a defenseman who played bantam hockey last season. He was named to the all-tournament team of the World Selects Invitational Under-15 World Championships after scoring two goals and assisting on four in six games for the Minnesota Blades.

Saints blank Goldeyes
Ryan Zimmerman, starting just his third professional game, and Jake Matthys, closing a game for the first time in his second pro season, combined on a seven-hitter for the Saints in a 1-0 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at CHS Field. Anthony Phillips drove in the game's only run in the fifth inning, scoring Justin O'Conner.
