News, notes and comments from Herald reporter Brad Elliott Schlossman

Gameday final: Denver 3, UND 2

First period

UND 1, Denver 0 -- Danny Kristo (Brad Malone, Evan Trupp) 3:23 (pp). Kristo sniped one from the point on the power play to give UND its first lead of the weekend.

UND 2, Denver 0 -- Chris VandeVelde (Jason Gregoire, Danny Kristo) 17:26 (pp). VandeVelde carried the puck in the right dot and sniped it short side on Cheverie. 

Second period

UND 2, Denver 1 -- Joe Colborne (Kyle Ostrow, Drew Shore) 1:09 (pp). UND couldn't get a clear while killing the penalty and Denver made a few crisp passes until Colborne was alone in the slot. He had an easy tap-in goal.

UND 2, Denver 2 -- Joe Colborne (Patrick Wiercioch, Tyler Ruegsegger) 5:22 (pp). Wiercioch's shot was going wide, but hit Colborne in the back and went in.

Denver 3, UND 2 -- Kyle Ostrow (Joe Colborne, Rhett Rakhshani) 8:33 (pp). The Pioneers score again on the power play as UND cannot get a line change. The same four guys were on the ice for all 1:45 of the PP and Colborne eventually finds Ostrow at the backdoor.

Third period

Scoreless.

There will be a live chat again tonight. UND SID Jayson Hajdu will probably have to take over in the third period because of tight deadlines. Line charts are below the chat application.

Please read before entering as these questions will probably not be addressed during the game: 1. Tonight's game is NOT available on TV. It will be on Webcast at FightingSioux.com for $5.95. 2. There are no updates on Chay Genoway. He remains out indefinitely. 3. Refs are Brian Thul and Scott Bokal. 4. Patrick Wiercioch will skate in the pre-game warmup and may replace Paul Phillips in the lineup.
