Freddy's three thoughts from afar ...
1. Charlie Hustle: Charlie Gerard was taken off the Mavericks' No. 1 line this week, and when Friday's game began, he was listed as the extra forward on the line chart. Perhaps motivated by the demotion, the junior scored the first two goals of the game. Gerard, who had just one assist in four finished with two goals and an assist.
2. Still scoring: The Florida freshmen were still at it on Friday. Nathan Smith, playing in his third collegiate game, had two assists, and now has seven points. Lucas Sowder had an assist and now has eight points. He has scored in each of the Mavericks' five games. They made up the second line with Walker Duehr, who scored an impressive goal in the second period.
3. High five: After the game coach Mike Hastings said he liked that his team scored five 5-on-5 goals, getting them from four different players: Gerard, Duehr, Chris Van Os-Shaw and Parker Tuomie. Eleven different players had points. MSU didn't score on the power play, going 0 for 2, although one of them lasted just 2 seconds.
