Despite losing the last two games, Gophers head coach Don Lucia is sticking with what he has against North Dakota. The only change from Saturday's 4-3 loss to Notre Dame is Jake Parenteau coming back from an injury, replacing Chris Student. Sam Warning. Erik Haula and Jake Hansen remain together despite two even-strength goals in their last ten games.
Kent Patterson is between the pipes, as usual. On the North Dakota side, they get back Corban Knight from injury.
