Ex-Gopher sinks UMD's three-peat hopes as UMass wins in overtime

Copy shortlink: PITTSBURGH – In the past three NCAA tournaments, Minnesota Duluth has thrived in one-goal games, winning six of them while compiling a 9-0 record and winning a pair of national championships. Thursday night, however, not extending a one-goal lead was like playing with fire for the Bulldogs. Garrett Wait, a former Gophers player from Edina, scored 14 minutes, 30 seconds into overtime, giving Massachusetts a 3-2 victory over Minnesota Duluth in the second NCAA Frozen Four semifinal at PPG Paints Arena. In the process, the Minutemen overcame the Bulldogs one-goal, third-period lead and prevented UMD from playing for its third consecutive national championship. Minnesota Duluth s nine-game overtime win streak in NCAA tournament play, dating to 1985, also ended.

Thinking It Through: Short-Handed UMass Set to Challenge Champs

Duluth, MN, USA / NewsTalk 610 AM & 103.9 FM Apr 7, 2021 6:30 PM “I know people think we are short-handed,” UMass head coach Greg Carvel noted during his Wednesday pre-Frozen Four press conference in Pittsburgh. “We’ve lost a couple good players for this game, but that’s all right. We like our depth.” He’s not wrong. But UMass is short-handed heading into this game. The Hockey East champions will not have leading scorer Carson Gicewicz (17 goals) or top goaltender Filip Lindberg for the semifinals, and possibly beyond if UMass advances. Does it mean the Minutemen can’t dethrone the two-time defending champion UMD Bulldogs Thursday night (8pm on KDAL)? Absolutely not.
