Senior defenseman Kris Fredheim blasted in a long rebound to make it 3-2 CC headed into the third period. Fredheim’s goal, his second this season and sixth as a Tiger, was set up by a hard slap shot by senior Brian McMillin that Robert Morris goalie Brooks Ostergard was unable to control.
Just like the second period, CC opens the third on the power play.
Robert Morris tied the game at 1-1 headed into the first intermission on a goal by Scott Kobialko, whose shot popped over Cc goalie Joe Howe as Kobialko was driven into the netminder.
That answered a goal by sophomore Nick Dineen, the second as a Tiger, two minutes earlier when he backhanded in a rebound off a slap shot by senior defenseman Kris Fredheim.
The play was set up by freshman defenseman Mike Boivin, who kept the puck from getting out of the zone and sent the puck into the opposite corner where Dineen tracked it down, passing to Fredheim out on the point for his slapper.
Colorado College sent 21 shots on net in the first period and was able to generate some good chances in 5-on-5 play, which was an emphasis coming into the nonconference game.
Idaho Steelheads (ECHL):
The Idaho Steelheads won all three games in their weekend series against the Stockton Thunder before the first of a three-game set to the Victoria Salmon Kings Wednesday. Idaho is now 11-3-1 and in first place in the ECHL.
Richard Bachman won both of his starts against Stockton, improving his record to 6-2-1 on the season. Bachman’s 2.28 GAA is second in the league, and his six wins are tied for first.
DES MOINES, Iowa – Connor Brickley scored three goals to help Des Moines skate past Fargo 6-4 in a United States Hockey Association contest on Thursday.
Brickley broke a 4-4 tie with a goal late in final period and added another on an empty net four seconds later to seal the win for the Buccaneers.
Four different players scored goals for the Force, with Eamonn McDermott assisting on three.
The depth of veteran leadership will help Stevens Point Area Senior High absorb the losses of its two leading players from last year — Marc Gruber, a graduate, and Aaron Harstad, who left high school hockey early to play junior hockey in Green Bay.
Gruber and Harstad were the team’s top two scorers, and the latter added a shutdown quality to his play as a defenseman.
The Islanders will need to put their hard hats on. Brendan Witt is expected back to add some physicality to the D along with Andy Sutton, who’s playing some of his best hockey. Mark Streit has picked it up with five points (2-3-5) the past five while Jack Hillen (1-5-6, +6 in 17 GP) is quietly having a nice season.
