Badgers get a power play coming out of the review. I missed the call, but I'm assuming interference.
EDIT - And Lowell kills it off. 14:30 left in the 2nd.

And for my next bit of fancy prognosticating, I submit that the NY Yankees are shoe-ins for the AL East title this year. Shoe ins.
Badgers playing dump & chase, but they can't get any sustained pressure on UM-L. Still, UW with a 14-6 advantage in SOG.
Time-out Riverhawks with 11:26 left.

Lowell hits the post, and Wisconsin breaks out 4-on-2 the other way off the rebound but UM-L stuffs it.
Penalty on the RiverHawks. Scott Wilson gets 2 min for cross checking with 9:20 left.

Holy shit, Josh Holmstrom nearly scored on a shorthanded breakaway all alone. He gets tripped and UM-L will go on the power play with 8:19 left. Skating Four-on-Four.
EDIT - McGrath just missed from the left wing. Rumpel makes a glove save.

Another UM-L goal on another breakaway! 3-0 Riverhawks.
Man, that was beautiful. A Badger turnover, and Shane Thompson takes the perfect feed from Suter (along the right side boards short of center ice) and rushes in from the middle of the blue line, crashes the net, and lifts it in over Rumpel's left shoulder. Play under review.

Puck was in the net before Thompson crashed into Rumpel. The goal stands.

Niagara & UND are underway in Grand Rapids. Only 2:41 in and the Purple Eagles lead in shots 3-1 and in face-offs 4-1.
Man, that UM-L timeout midway through the period was the right call. They made adjustments, Badgers couldn't keep the puck in Lowell's end, and the Hawks had a 8-3 margin in SOG after that.
Still 3-0, and UM-L is 16-0-1 when leading after two periods.
Overall shots are 17-14 Badgers, and they lead in face-offs 15-14.

Zane Gothberg is in net for UND. He is a Bruins prospect for those interested.
Also, Rocco Grimaldi is awesome. That little fucker's motor never stops.

Niag-UND still scoreless with 9:34 left in the 1st. Sioux going on the power play. Jason Beattie goes off for cross-checking.
Niagara kills it off, and now they're on the PP. Derek Forbort goes off for a cross-check with 6:16 left.
EDIT - UND kills it, back to even strength. 4:00 to go in the 1st.

Holmstrom was just allowed a 1-on-3 shorthanded bid and he navigated through all the traffic to the crease to get a shot off. Horrible defense. Rumple should NEVER have to face anything like that.
Niagara & North Dakota scoreless after 1. Sioux lead in shots 11-6. Face-offs are even at 10 each.
Badgers getting some chances, but they're either missing the net badly, or they have nobody positioned for rebounds. Have to do better than that against Hellebuyck as well as he's playing.
Under 13:00 to play, and Lowell's defense continues to deny Wisconsin any momentum whatsoever.
Badgers on the power play with 11:49 left as Scott Wilson goes off for charging on what looks to me like a clean hit, but Jefferson Dahl's head jerked back after contact.
Badgers score right off the face-off. Took just 3 passes. Lowell caught flat-footed and never even touched any Wisconsin players until it was too late. Nic Kerdiles gets the goal. 1st successful PP in 5 tries for UW.
3-1 Riverhawks.
3-1 Riverhawks.
UW's Frank Simonelli goes off for holding with 10:46 left. Power play UM-L, and they're 0-for-3 today.
They score 20 secs in, but it's waved off for a high stick. Under review.
EDIT - Still no goal. Face-off in UM-L zone coming.

Badgers get a huge chance on a shorthanded bid, but can't net the puck. Lowell escapes.
Under 9:00 to go as the penalty expires.

Niagara with a power play coming up. O'Donnell goes off for holding with 18:00 left in the 2nd.
Derek Arnold tips in a beautiful feed from McGrath, and Lowell leads 4-1 on yet another odd-man rush. Great speed and timing on display.
6:00 left, and now Wisconsin's getting all chippy & pissy.

UND & Niag get coincidental penalties after the whistle. UND's Forbort and NU's Murphy go to the box, and they'll skate 4 on 4.
Chubak has been a beast in net for the Eagles.

Back to back interference calls on UM-L and Wisc wipe out a badly-needed Badger power play with 5:46 left.

Jason Beattie gets it, going 5-hole on Gothberg.

Purple Eagles now on the PP. Slashing is the call.
Earlier UND had a 5-on-3 power play followed by another 5-on-4, and racked up shitloads of shots without scoring. It's now a 39-26 SOG advantage for the Sioux.

Feeble, discombobulated effort by Niagara on the PP.
Now it's UND back on the power play as Hannan goes off for an elbow at 14:31.
Less than 4:00 to go, Eagles still down a goal.
