In Mankato, the Minnesota State won its fifth game in a row with a 3-1 victory over Alaska-Anchorage. The hot stayed hot as Trevor Bruess (eight points in the last five games) had a goal and an assist, and Joel Hanson (six-game scoring streak) and Jason Wiley (six points in the last five games) scored the other goals. Goalie Mike Zacharias stopped 20 of 21 shots and had an amazing, outstretched save early in the third period to maintain the two-goal lead.
The win moved the Mavericks up to a tie for fourth place in the WCHA. However, in those wacky Pairwise rankings, they dropped from 10th to 11th.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, ex-Maverick Ryan Carter scored the first two goals of his NHL career. Highlights are available on NHL.com. Earlier in the week, Carter and the Ducks visited the White House in honor of last summer's Stanley Cup championship. Carter is one of three U.S.-born players on championship roster.
"It's my first time in D.C., let alone the White House," he said. "It's been interesting and cool at the same time. To get a view from this angle is nice. To be on that stage and see how everything works around here, it's all really cool. To shake hands with the President was intimidating but neat at the same time."
