Glasser's goal ended up being a killer, as Denver added two more goals -- including a third by Glasser for an unlikely hat trick -- and another by Luke Salazar. Mike Zacharias struggled, and was pulled for the first time this year. Dan Tormey got his first game action of the season and stopped four shots including a breakaway.
Denver is in first place in the WCHA, while MSU fell to seventh. It looks like a good time for a break.

A fine second period for the Mavericks was spoiled when Matt Glasser scored his second goal of the game with 55 seconds remaining in the period.
The Mavericks tied things with goals from freshmen Adam Mueller (17 seconds in) and Mike Louwerse (power-play goal at 8:06).

Denver has outshot the Mavericks 15-4 in the first period and got a goal from Matt Glasser at 13:55 and another from Jesse Martin with just 10 seconds left in the period.
Glasser's goal was a good example of the new icing rule. Teams can't change lines after icing the puck. MSU had iced the puck after a long, defensive-zone shift. Denver won the ensuing offensive-zone faceoff and quickly scored. As for Martin's goal, it was the third time in four games that the Mavericks allowed a goal in the final minute of a period.

Just about game time. ... I've been told that Boe was primarily a forward growing up and switched to defense sometime in high school in Bemidji.

Some interesting lineup changes tonight for the Mavericks. Andy Sackrison was injured last night and missed most of the third period. He's out tonight, as is James Gaulrapp, who appears to be a healthy scratch. With Jerad Stewart and Jason Wiley still out, the Mavericks are a forward short, so Channing Boe moves up front.
Meanwhile, Denver's Tyler Bozak, who was also injured last night, is also out.
