Mavericks 2, Huskies 1

Freddy's three thoughts (from afar) ...

1. Clean sweep: Minnesota State finished off the series sweep of the Huskies, winning a low-scoring game against a team desperate to win at home. Michigan Tech is now 0-4 in Houghton this year, while the Mavericks improved to 4-0 on the road. Charlie Gerard and Parker Tuomie scored goals, and Dryden McKay made 17 saves the night after a 31-save shutout.

2. Line sheet shakeup: Coach Mike Hastings shuffled the lines again, making life tough for radio announcers by putting Charlie Gerard and Dallas Gerads on the same line (with Marc Michaelis). Lucas Sowder was a scratch, and Ryan Sandelin was put in. Hastings said Sandelin had one of his best games so far this season "at both ends of the rink."

3. Break time: The Mavericks went 8-1-1 in their first 10 games. A darn good star that deserves a bit of a break. Minnesota State will be off next week before returning to play the following weekend with a home series against Alaska Anchorage. Hastings said he hopes that Jake Jaremko and Chris Van Os-Shaw will be healthy by then.
