Box Score The University of Minnesota Duluth came into Magness Arena Friday night with its sights set on extending a somewhat lengthy streak and ending another another.  Devin Dooley, however, had other plans.

The sophomore netminder rejected all 38 shots UMD fired his way to lift the University of Denver to a 2-0 National Collegiate Hockey Conference home victory. The shutout, the second of Devlin's career, terminated the top-ranked Bulldogs' nation-leading eight-game winning streak and was No. 7 Denver's seventh win in a row over UMD going back to the 2017 NCAA title game.

UMD (8-2-1 overall; 2-1-0-0 NCHC), which held the Pioneers to just 14 shots the entire evening -- two more than the program single-game record, found itself trailing 1-0 for just the third time in 11 games this season at the 10:11 mark of the second period when Ian Mitchell's power play blast from the point snuck through traffic and past Bulldog goalie Hunter Shepard. Denver (6-2-1; 3-2-0-0 NCHC) iced the triumph with Jarid Lukosevicius's empty net goal with 37 seconds remaining in regulation.

The Bulldogs, who entered the weekend sporting the country's fifth-most effective power play, went 0-of-5 with the man advantage while Denver was 1-of-5. UMD sophomore defenseman Mikey Anderson and sophomore right winger Nick Swaney both generated a game-high six shots.

Shepard, the reigning NCHC Goalie of the Week, has now allowed just three goals in the last four appearances -- with two of those coming on the power play.

The two teams will meet again on Saturday at 8:07 p.m. (CT) in Denver.
