Duluth sees St. Cloud State coming to town
for a best-of-three showdown. Puck drop for
game one on Friday is 7:07 p.m. CT, while the
remaining game(s) in the series will be a 6:07
p.m. CT start. All games of this quarterfinal
series can be seen on My9 Sports in Duluth
and anywhere on NCHC.tv.
In the regular season this year, UMD won
three of the four meetings against the
Huskies with one of those wins coming in
overtime.
The Bulldogs (20-13-1, 11-12-1 NCHC) were
locked into fourth place entering the final
weekend of the regular season, tying the
Tigers in their regular-season finale. UMD is
hosting a playoff series for the first time since
2019, but did win the Frozen Faceoff in 2022
as the No. 5 seed. The Bulldogs also won the
NCHC Frozen Faceoff in 2017 and 2019.
