Gophers lines for Saturday:

1st line/ Mike Hoeffel-Nick Bjugstad-Nick Larson ... Top line had two shots on goal and was a combined minus-5 ... Need to do better

2nd line/ Jacob Cepis-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... Easily best line on Friday. Hansen had five shots and penalty shot goal, Cepis has four shots, Haula two. But Haula committed slashing penalty which led to game-winning goal.

3rd line/ Nate Condon-Pat White-Jay Barriball ... Another line that was a combined minus-5.

4th line/ Tom Serratore-Nico Sacchetti-Joe Miller ... line which is supposed to provide energy. Maybe Gophers should start them tonight.

D-pairs:

1st/ Seth Helgeson-Cade Fairchild ... One shot between them on net.

2nd/ Aaron Ness-Mark Alt ... Ness had second goal of season Fri. on power play

3rd/ Kevin Wehrs-Jake Parenteau ... Wehrs scored his third goal of the season Friday on a nice rush and fire ... Parentau takes fr. Justin Holl's place in the lineup. Only change.

Goalie: Kent Patterson ... Hope KP didn't have too many nightmares about his bad turnover which led directly to UAA's third goal

TV UPDATE

Remember game is on FSN tonight, not one of the alternates.
