Gophers' line for Alaska Anchorage:
Ness in Gophers' lineup, Matson still out
Well, at least half the Gophers' injury news was good.
1st/ Mike Hoeffel-Nick Bjugstad-Nick Larson ... Big line which goes 6-2, 6-4, 6-1. Bjugstad has been especially hot lately with three goals last weekend.
2nd/ Jacob Cepis-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... Line was quiet last weekend. Cepis' streak of a goal in five games in a row was stopped. Maybe he will start another tonight.
3rd/ Nate Condon-Pat White-Jay Barriball ... White is chipping in with points in stretch. Barriball had four assists last weekend
4th/ Tom Serratore-Nico Sacchetti-Joe Miller ... Energy line. Plays with a lot of jump and in Serratore's case some pop. He will hit people
D-men:
1st/ Seth Helgeson-Cade Fairchild
2nd/ Aaron Ness-Mark Alt ... Gophers need Ness' puck-moving ability, had some trouble getting puck out of own zoned last weekend without him
3rd/ Kevin Wehrs-Justin Holl
Goalie: Kent Patterson
Kirill Kaprizov had three assists after going two games without much offense and taking a cut to the face.
