Ryan Stoa will miss the rest of the Gophers men's hockey season after suffering a knee injury Saturday. He will have surgery, according to a university press release.

Stoa, a junior winger from Bloomington, had 12 goals last season and 11 as a freshman. He played on the Gophers' top line in victories over RPI and Michigan in the season-opening IceBreaker Classic last weekend at Xcel Energy Center.

Stoa played in all 41 games as a freshman and 41 of 44 games last season. Including his goal and assist last weekend, he has 23 goals and 28 assists for 51 career points.

He was a second-round pick (34th overall) by Colorado in the 2005 NHL draft.

"I'm really disappointed for Ryan," Gophers coach Don Lucia said in a statement. "He worked extremely hard this offseason and had really taken a step in his development."

• The Gophers moved up to No. 3 in the U.S. College Hockey Online poll. North Dakota remained No. 1.
