Senior forward MacGregor Sharp recorded his ninth goal of the season after he tapped in a pass from freshman forward Mike Connolly. Sophomore forward Justin Fontaine also assisted on the goal.

Fontaine also assisted on the Bulldog's second goal at 15:02 of the middle frame. Freshman forward Jack Connolly finished off a three-on-two for Duluth for his second career goal.

Baker brought the Huskies within one with his second power play goal of the season at 16:29 of the second. He was assisted by a pair of freshman, Brett Olson and Alex MacLeod.

The Huskies comitted a pair penalties eight minutes into the third period to give the Bulldogs a five-on-three advantage. Fontaine picked up his third point of the game with his ninth goal of the season at 8:38. He was assisted by Mike Connolly and senior defenseman Josh Meyers.

Junior Alex Stalock (8-4-5) made 20 saves on 21 shots for the Bulldogs, while senior Rob Nolan made 19 saves on 22 shots for the Huskies.

Michigan Tech (2-14-1, 1-11-1) and Minnesota Duluth (8-4-5, 5-4-4) will wrap-up the series tomorrow (Dec. 13) at 7:07 p.m.
