Meet a Gopher: Senior Jake Hansen is the right wing on the Gophers' second line and is an assistant team captain.
The 6-1, 191-pound Hansen had career highs in goals with 15, assists with 22 and, of course, points with 37. He scored three game-winners and had six power play goals.
He is a plus-18, ranks second on team in most penalties with 28. Has a six-game points streak with 4 goals and three assists in that stretch. He was a third round draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2007.
One of the more vocal and emotional team leaders.
Meet an opponent: Brian Dumoulin is a 6-4, 225 junior defenseman. He was named Hockey East's best defensive defenseman for the second season in a row and was among the 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award before they narrowed the candidates to three.
He has six goals and 20 assists for 26 points in 42 games. His plus-25 ranking is the best on BC. He was a second round draft pick of the Carolina Hurricane in 2009. He is from Biddeford, Maine.
He played on the U.S. team in the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. Team USA won the bronze in that tournament. One of his teammates on the U.S. team was Gophers forward Nick Bjugstad.
