MSU vs. U.S. NTDP

The Mavericks and the U.S. Under-18s will play an exhibition game at the Verizon Center tonight. Should be interesting.

Minnesota State coach Mike Hastings is dressing all but three players, giving C.J. Suess and Daniel Brickley a break. Walker Duehr is also a scratch. It will be interesting to see how much the other regulars play.

The U.S. team is coached by Seth Appert, the former RPI head coach and Denver assistant. Fifteen of the 20 players dressed tonight are committed to Division I schools
