Minnesota Duluth shut out LIU 4-0 in regulation, bookending the night with two-goal first and third periods. The Bulldogs got the scoring done in the frames that mattered and never let the Sharks into the game.
Duluth went up 2-0 in the opening period, then watched a scoreless middle frame go by with the lead intact at 2-0 after 40 minutes. The third period settled it, two more Bulldogs goals pushing the margin to the 4-0 final.
The headline number is the zero: LIU did not score across three periods, and Duluth's goaltending finished the night clean. Four goals from two productive periods was all the margin the Bulldogs needed.
