Gophers and Spartans tie in the Big Ten, CC rallies past Denver - CHS 12-13-24

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for December 13, 2024. If you’ve come here for inStat, analysis, breakdowns in the d-zone or anything other than the scores. You’ll leave disappointed. It’s JUST. THE. SCORES. 

In the Big Ten, No. 1 Minnesota and No. 3 Michigan State ended regulation tied at three after Brodie Ziemer opened and closed the scoring. Michigan State claimed the shootout and the extra Big Ten point. 

Tenth-ranked Colorado College overcame a 3-0 deficit to defeat No. 4 Denver 5-4 in the first game of the Gold Pan series, with Drew Montgomery netting his fifth goal of the season and Samu Salminen scoring twice for Denver. 

Wisconsin delivered a dominant 4-0 shutout at Yost over No. 8 Michigan, with Quinn Finley scoring his 12th of the season and Michigan going three games without a goal after a 16-goal series against Notre Dame. 

No. 16 North Dakota beat No. 9 St. Cloud State 2-0 at The Ralph with goals from Carter Wilkie and Jake Livanavage. Berry and Larson exchanged words towards the end of the game. I believe they were “Merry” and “Christmas.” 

No. 12 Minnesota State extended its unbeaten streak to 10 games with a 2-1 win over Lake Superior State, courtesy of two goals by Luc Wilson. The Mavericks are 8-0-2 in their last 10. 

Brent Johnson’s overtime winner lifted No. 15 Ohio State past Notre Dame 2-1 in Columbus. 

New Hampshire and No. 17 Dartmouth finished tied at three with six different scorers before UNH claimed the shootout for bragging rights … and maybe even not that. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul. 

Bemidji State and Michigan Tech skated to a 2-2 tie, with Bemidji winning the shootout. Bowling Green edged Northern Michigan 2-1, while Augustana earned a 3-2 overtime victory over Alaska-Anchorage. If there were actual points on the line, Augie would have taken four of them this weekend. They now come back to the lower 48 after spending most of December in Alaska. 

Lindenwood upset Omaha 3-2, LIU bested Stonehill 3-1, and Vermont cruised to a 6-2 win over Union. 

In exhibition action, No. 13 Boston University outlasted the USNTDP 7-5. 

Just two games on the women’s side: Robert Morris and LIU skated to a 1-1 tie, but neither school reported who won the shootout.Had to go to discord to get the answer, so thanks to  “Twee P the sieve” confirming Robert Morris took the shootout, once again proving the discord server to be a more reliable source than, say a script. 

Maddie Mashuga’s hat trick powered Minnesota State to a 5-0 win over Bemidji State, improving the Mavericks to 7-9-1 and solidifying sixth place in the WCHA standings while handing Bemidji its third straight loss.
