HUSKIES SKATE TO 1-1 TIE WITH BULLDOGS

DULUTH, Minn. - Michigan Tech recorded its first tie of the season as it skated to a 1-1 tie on the road against Minnesota Duluth Friday.

"I felt we played a real good game on the road tonight. We came back from a goal down," said head coach Jamie Russell.

The Bulldogs, who were coming off its only power play of the first period, caught the Huskies behind its own net as Michael Gergen fed the puck to Josh Meyers coming down the middle. Meyers scored the first goal of the night at 9:09 of the first period.

Michigan Tech goaltender Michael-Lee Teslak made a great save less than a minute later to keep the Huskies within one.

The Huskies hard work paid off in the second period as they enjoyed plenty of scoring opportunities. Alex Lord missed a golden opportunity to tie the game but he couldn't settle the puck on a rebound.

Freshman Jordan Baker also enjoyed a quality scoring opportunity as he skated in alone on net but was stopped cold by Bulldog sophomore goaltender Alex Stock.

Senior Tyler Shelast finally broke up the Bulldog shutout as he scored a power play goal at 17:13 of the second period. The goal was the 40th of his career and the 25th that he has scored on the power play. He was assisted by seniors Peter Rouleau and Jimmy Kerr.

Neither team could find the net in the third period as the game went into overtime.

The Huskies kept constant pressure on the Bulldogs in the extra frame. Michigan Tech took a time out with 35 seconds remaining in the period.

"I wanted to keep the puck in the offensive zone for the face off but for some reason it was moved out of the zone," said Russell.

Teslak finished the night with 27 saves and one goal against for the Huskies.

Stalock also finished the night with one goal against and 26 saves for the Bulldogs.

The two teams finished nearly identical on the score sheet. The Bulldogs held a slight 28-27 advantage in shots. The Huskies finished 1-3 on the power play while holding the Bulldogs 0-3.

The Huskies are 5-5-1 overall and 4-4-1 in the WCHA while Minnesota Duluth will enter the rematch tomorrow with a record of 4-3-2 overall and 3-3-1 in the WCHA.
