First off s/t to @StatsOnCrack, he is the guy that sits in the press box recording shots and he does one hell of a job… Perusing the stats here is what we have on Saturday morning following UND’s grind it out win against the Gophers… UND has killed 17/18 Minnesota power play opportunities in three games.
With Kristo’s major penalty last night UND moved from the 11th in penalty minutes to 10th over all.
One thing that gets lost in the shuffle is how well UND goaltender Aaron Dell has played, he has been stellar in net and has made some game saving saves at the right time. Overall Dell has a 9-7-2 records, a 2.67 goals against average and a .897 save percentage. In WCHA play, Dell is ranked third with a 2.43 goals against average and is ranked 5th with a .911 save percentage.
UMN was 0-4 on the power play. UND was 0-3 on the power play and killed off a 5 minute major penalty to Danny Kristo.
