Griffins at a glance: Canisius, 3-20-2 all-time against nationally ranked schools, has scored only five goals in five games but has allowed only nine goals. It has killed off 24 of 26 opposing power plays. Goalie Tony Capobianco is looking for his first win despite a 1.98 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. Inver Grove Heights' Keegan Asmundson was in goal for the lone win. Two other Minnesotans on the roster are West St. Paul's Ryan Bohrer and Stillwater's Ben Danford. Preston Shupe leads with two points and 13 shots in five games.
