Last weekend, the Huskies took both games from a home-and-home series with then-7th ranked Minnesota, winning 6-5 in overtime in Minneapolis and 3-2 at home. Two weeks ago, SCSU was swept at Minnesota State to start the season.
Judd Peterson, a 2012 draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres, leads the Huskies with four goals in four games. He had 16 goals to lead all returning players from last season’s SCSU squad, which won 31 games and made the NCAA Tournament. Mikey Eyssimont, a sophomore Los Angeles Kings prospect, scored 14 goals last season and has two this season.
The Huskies feature two freshmen goaltenders. Jeff Smith and Zach Driscoll each have two starts, combining for a 4.20 goals against average and .861 save percentage.
St. Cloud State was picked to finish fourth in the NCHC preseason poll.
