Although the Gophers are keeping the same lines which worked for them in last weekend’s sweep over Alaska-Anchorage, North Dakota is going tonight without heralded freshman Rocco Grimaldi. Grimaldi, who has only played in 3 games this season with a lower body injury, was expected to play but is missing another game.
