U vs. Michigan among three games of interest today

There are three games I want to see the results of tonight.

One, of course, is the Gophers at Micigan game in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Wolverines are struggling more than the U. Minnesota should have a good chance to beat them.

THE DON SAYS

* On junior defenseman Kevin Wehrs: "He is playing well. What he is doing is delivering pucks to the net. He is shooting it off the pass. [That's] how we scored both of our goals on Saturday night [in a 2-1 loss to UMD], Kevin is playing the best hockey of his career right now. And we certainly until [Nick] Leddy comes back. When Nick comes back we will find a spot for him on the power play."

Leddy, a freshman defenseman who was playing on the first defensive pair, is out for at least another week with a broken jaw.

* On Gophers' first line: "Jordan [Schroeder], Nico [Sacchetti] and Hoff {Mike Hoeffel] had really good chemistry [last] weekend. They seem to be growing in that area. Now we have to have some other guys step forward from an offensive standpoint where we can count on them to contribute night in and night out. That is what we are still searching for."

BEAVERS PLAY NO. 1 TEAM

Two of the stingiest defenses in the country collide. BSU currently leads the nation in scoring defense allowing just 1.67 goals per game, while Miami is giving up just 1.71 goals per game. The
difference is that BSU has scored six goals in three of its last four
outings and currently sits fourth in the country in scoring averaging
just over four goals per contest.

Game time is 4 p.m. today at the Ralph.

The Redhawks defeated the Beavers 4-1 on April 9, 2009. The loss ended
the BSU's magical Frozen Four run. If Bemidji State wins, the Beavers should keep climbing in the national polls.
