Minnesota Duluth 1, UND 0 — Callum Arnott 12 (Joey Pierce) 2:14. Pierce comes in the zone on a one-on-one rush with Jake Livanavage. He tries to shoot the puck, but Livanavage gets a piece of it. The puck trickles behind Livanavage and Pierce picks it back up and puts a shot on net. UND goalie Jan Špunar makes the initial save, but kicks the rebound out to Arnott, who finishes it for his 12th goal of the season.

Minnesota Duluth 2, UND 0 — Max Plante 23 (Ty Hanson) 7:16. Just after a UND power play expires, UND defenseman Keaton Verhoeff gets in a battle along the halfwall. Minnesota Duluth wins the battle and sends Plante on a two-on-two rush. He toe drags around Livanavage, who tries to deny a pass, then snipes it.

Minnesota Duluth 3, UND 0 — Jayson Shaugabay 11 (Callum Arnott, Luke Bibby) 1:26. Verhoeff jumps into the play in the offensive end, but it goes the other way on an odd-man rush. Bibby feeds Arnott cutting down the slot. Špunar makes the initial save, but Shaugabay follows it up and buries the rebound.

For the first time since Jan. 31, Minnesota Duluth is breaking up the big top line of Max Plante, Zam Plante and Jayson Shaugabay. The last time the Bulldogs did that, it only last about a period before coach Scott Sandelin put them back together. They're keeping the Plante brothers together and putting them with Moorhead's Harper Bentz. Shaugabay is playing with Luke Bibby and Callum Arnott. They'll presumably be on the same power-play unit, though. . . UND also is flipping its lines, presumably to put Dylan James, Ollie Josephson and Cody Croal against the Plante line. . . UND has lost in the NCHC semifinals in four consecutive seasons. . . The teams split four games this season. The Bulldogs won a pair of overtime games. UND won a pair of regulation games.
