1. Power up: I wrote extensively about the red-hot power play in my game story (linked below), so be sure to take that deep dive. In the meantime, here's the play that I devoted a few too many words to in the gamer (I defy anyone who was in the building not named Marc Michaelis or Parker Tuomie to tell me they knew this was a pass, not a shot):

2. Close, for a bit: Early on tonight, Alabama Huntsville had a 3-0 lead over Bowling Green and Lake Superior State goalie Mareks Mitens was making some tough saves and keeping the game here in Mankato scoreless. Just when you thought it might be a weird night in the WCHA, things returned to normal, and BG won 9-3 and Minnesota State exploded for five goals, making the Lakers pay for their penalties. In the end, the Mavericks won their eighth game in a row, a streak in which the opposing team has yet to score more than one goal. Minnesota State has outscored its opponents 32-6 over those eight games.
3. It's like that: The Run-TMG line was accounted for five points tonight — a goal from Tuomie and two assists each from Michaelis and Charlie Gerard. Michaelis now has 19 points in 15 games. Tuomie is over a point per game with 14 in 13 games, and Geard is just under with 13 in 15. "(Michaelis is) playing some of the best hockey that he’s ever played since he’s been here, being a lot more consistent night in, night out, day in, day out as far as practices, prepareing," coach Mike Hastings said. "That’s what you need out of one of your captains and a senior."
