With a 2-0 lead and five full minutes of power play time (including 1:35 with a 5-3 advantage) early in the second period, the University of Minnesota Duluth had a golden opportunity to perhaps put the University of Notre Dame Friday night. The No. 5 Bulldogs squandered that chance -- giving up a shorthanded goal in the process -- and ultimately it may have cost them a key road victory as they and the Irish settled to a 3-3 overtime draw in South Bend, Ind.

Senior left winger Austin Farley, junior right winger Alex Iafallo and senior right winger Austyn Young all scored for UMD (2-1-1 overall), which never trailed the entire night. Farley put the Bulldogs up 1-0 at the 6:27 of the first when he backhanded in a rebound for his second goal of the season and 33rd of his career (tops among all active Bulldogs). Iafallo took a nifty pass from senior defenseman Willie Corrin and buried it to make it 2-0 midway through that same period. Despite beging outshot 16-8 in the second period, the Irish drew even on goals by Justin Wade (a shortie) and Bobby Nardella four minutes apart. Five minutes into the third period, Austyn Young's struck for his second goal of the year, coming out of scrum with the puck following a faceoff to the left of Notre Dame's Cal Peterson and whipping a shot by the lefty goaltender. With UMD sophomore center Jared Thomas off for an interference penalty, Sam Herr cashed in on the Irish's seventh, and final power play attempt of the evening with 12:28 to go in regulation.

Sophomore Kasimir Kaskisuo, who has played in all four Bulldog games to date, finished with 26 saves while Peterson was credited with 42 stops.
