BULLDOG SPOTLIGHT: DAN DeLISLE

With three seasons and change now in the rear view mirror, left winger Dan DeLisle's time at the University of Minnesota Duluth -- along with that of the other six 2012-13 Bulldog seniors -- is slowly winding down. Making the most of his final collegiate go-around is obviously at the top of DeLisle's "to-do" list and with one third of the regular season in the books, the Arden Hills, Minn. product and Chicago Blackhawk draftee has produced one goal (the game-winner in UMD's 3-1 triumph at nationally-ranked Notre Dame last month) and one assist while going a +1 in 10 outings.

The weekend, DeLisle and his Bulldog mates will pay a visit to Houghton, Mich., to face Michigan Tech University in a two-game Western Collegiate Hockey Association series.
