It’s a fine line...
Last season, 19 of BSU’s 38 games were decided by one goal or less, which included seven one-goal losses by the Beavers. Bemidji State was 7-7-5 in games decided by a goal or less. BSU is 4-4-0 in one-goal games this season.
Another goal for Walters
With a goal in the UAH series Dec. 16-17, Shea Walters established a new career-high single-season goal scoring total with eight. His previous high water mark came in 200809 when he recorded four goals as a freshman.
I am Iron Man
Brad Hunt is BSU’s current Ironman. Since stepping on campus in the fall of 2008, he has dressed and played in each of the Beavers’ 132 games consecutively. Matt Read set a new mark for game played during BSU’s Division I era a year ago, playing in 147 games for BSU, which included 143 straight to begin his career.
The Hunt for 100 is over
Alternate Captain Brad Hunt scored the game-winning goal in a 3-1 victory at St. Cloud State Dec. 3 eclipsing the 100-point plateau. During his three seasons in the green and white, he has accumulated 23-80=103 points to climb into a tie for fifth on BSU’s all-time defensemen scoring list and fourth on BSU’s Division I-era scoring list. With three points this weekend, he will tie Terry Mattson (1986-89) and Greg Biskup (1984-88) for third on the Beavers defensemen scoring list.
Blueline’s offensive push
The Beavers’ got three goals and five assists from its defensive corps Dec. 16-17 versus DU. Beaver defensemen have now scored in 16 of BSU’s 20 games this season and have accounted 10 goals and 29 assists (10-29=39) accounting for 27 percent of BSU total scoring with an average of 1.95 points per game in 2011-12.
It’s good to be home
After eight of their first 10 games on the road, the Beavers are glad to be back on home ice for eight of 10. No two players are more excited to be back home than Jordan George and Brad Hunt. Ten of George’s team leading 17 points have come in 10 games at Sanford Center, while Hunt has registered seven of his team-best 13 helpers at home.
Hints at the outcome
The Beavers are 17-2-3 since 2008-09 when captain Ben Kinne scores a goal. This season Kinne has six goals and BSU is 4-1-1 in those contests. Alternate captain Jake Areshenko scored less frequently, but has the same effect on the game’s outcome. BSU is 9-2-3 when he logs a point and 3-0-0 when he scores a goal.
WCHA laurels for Walsh
Freshman goaltender Andrew Walsh was named WCHA Rookie of the Week Dec. 20 after 47 saves and a pair of shutout victories versus UAH--marking the second consecutive week and third time of 2011-12, the Dawson Creek, B.C. native has been recognized by the league.
Rookie contributions in goal
In his last three starts, Andrew Walsh has allowed just one goal on 84 shots. He has posted a .988 save percentage and a 0.33 GAA.
Rendle Out of commission
Sophomore blueliner Sam Rendle is out for the season electing to have surgery to repair his injured shoulder over the semester break. He posted 3-8=11 points in 34 games for the Beavers as a freshman a year ago.
Anyone interested a short-handed goal?
This season BSU has just one short-handed goal and that came off the stick of injured Sam Rendle Oct. 7 at Miami--the Beavers’ first game of 2011-12. Only two players in BSU’s lineup have a short-handed goal Ben Kinne (3/7/09) and Jordan George (2/12/10). Since moving to the NCAA Division I level for the 1999-2000 season, BSU lowest single-season total for shorties is three in 2002-03, 2007-08 and 2010-11.
Beavers at Sanford Center
This season BSU is 6-3-1 on its home ice. BSU had just five wins on its entire 16-game home slate in 2010-11 (5-8-3).
Nonconference action
The Beavers are 4-2-0 in nonconference play this season and a perfect 2-0-0 in nonconference games played at home this season. BSU was 1-1-0 in non-WCHA play at home last year.
Back-to-back shutouts
BSU’s back-to-back shutouts versus UAH Dec. 16-17 stand as the first since 3-0 victories over Northern Michigan and Nebraska-Omaha Nov. 27 and Dec. 3 of last season and the first time a BSU team has posted back-to-back shutouts to sweep a series since 2-0 and 5-0 victories at Air Force March 7-8, 2003. With that said, BSU recorded backto-back shutouts at Western Michigan Jan. 2-3, 2009, but the Beavers and Broncos opened the series with a 0-0 tie before BSU took game two with a 5-0 shutout giving the Beavers the series victory, but not the sweep.
