Three keys to Gophers winning second game:

1. Try something new. Put some pressure on Wisconsin's goalie. Drive hard to the net. Force Badgers to trip and hook to prevent goals. Then shoot, shoot, shoot on the power play.

2. Play smarter on defense. An odd-man rush once in a while is going to happen, but not consistently.

3. Hit somebody. Gophers said there was not much emotion on the ice Friday night. Stir some up. Even 5-8 Kyle Rau says hitting people gets him going.

STATUS QUO ON LINE CHARTS

It's a little surprising, but the Gophers are not juggling their lines despite their lackluster performance on Friday. Coach Don Lucia is going with the same line-up, although he could obviously make some switches during the game if his team starts slow again.

The Gophers' lines:

Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish: Rau had three shots on Friday, Bjugstad none. Lucia said some of his top-end games did not play their best.

Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen: After a faster start than any other player in the country, Haula has one assist the past four games. Hansen may have been the Gophers' best player on Friday. He had four shots on goal and a rebound goal.

Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Seth Ambroz: Ambroz has eight penalties for a team-high 27 minutes, but only has two goals, both against lowly Sacred Heart. Matson also is stuck on two goals.

Tom Serratore-Travis Boyd-Nick Larson: Had their best two games last weekend. Not as noticeable on Friday in loss.

Goalie:

Joel Rumpel ... my uneducated guess. He didn't have to work that hard on Friday and is 4-0-0 at Kohl Center.
