After last night's 4-2 victory over Minnesota State, the Gophers are making one change to their lineup. Freshman Sam Warning, who played poorly Friday, is being scratched in favor of fellow freshman Christian Isackson. Isackson has only played in three games this season with no points as he has been unable to crack the top-twelve forwards.
Everything else remains the same as last night including Kent Patterson in net for the 18th straight game.
