1. Powering through: Minnesota State went 3 for 6 on the power play to defeat the Falcons and are 6 for 14 (42.9 percent) over its last three games, all wins. Parker Tuomie, Zeb Knutson and C.J. Suess scored the man-advantage goals. In-zone faceoff wins were key on the first and third PPGs, as well as on the Mavericks' third goal of the game, a 4-on-4 tally by freshman defenseman Connor Mackey.
2. Share the wealth: The Mavericks have 13 goals this season, and they've come from 11 different players. Mackey's goal was his first of the season, same with Tuomie. Knutson became the first player to score multiple goals, and Suess got his second of the season later. Knutson and Suess lead MSU with five points in four games. Tuomie and Max Coatta led MSU with five shots on goal each.
3. Defense wins: Minnesota State put 34 shots on goal and held Bowling Green to 17, while allowing one goal, the game's only 5-on-5 goal. The Mavericks held the Falcons scoreless on six power-play attempts. Life wasn't terribly difficult for goaltender Connor LaCouvee, as he faced single-digit shot totals in each period. However, the senior came up big when he needed to to earn his second win of the season and second as a Maverick.
