Gophers coach Don Lucia liked what he saw Friday in his team's 3-0 whitewash of Bemidji State. So he is sticking with the same lineup. If you are a fan of the team, you should know what it is. Eleven of the 19 players in the lineup have played every game, including five of the defensemen and goalie Kent Patterson.
The forwards:
1st line/ Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish ... this line was impressive on Friday with three goals and three assists. Budish had two of the goals, Bjguey one.
2nd line/ Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... would be nice if this trio chipped in with a few more points to ease whatever burden the top line feels. Haula had assist on Friday on power play playing with Bjugey, Rau and Hansen.
3rd line/ Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Nico Sacchetti ... Condon and Matson, team's two best penalty killer had a night off from that duty. Gophers did not commit a penalty for first time this season
4th line/ Tom Serratore-Travis Boyd-Seth Ambroz ... Serratore was one of the players that Lucia singled out for playing well after Friday
Defensive pairs
Seth Helgeson-Justin Holl ... helped keep Beavers well away from Gophers net on Friday, 13 shots total
