Don Lucia is making only one minor change from last night's 2-1 win over Alaska-Anchorage. Senior forward Nick Larson returns to the lineup Saturday for Minnesota replacing Tom Serratore on the fourth line.
It's the only lineup change for either side because Alaska-Anchorage is icing the same lineup they did Friday.
Kent Patterson is in net for the Gophers while Chris Kamal, who has allowed five goals in three playoff games against Minnesota and had 32 saves last night, gets the nod for the Seawolves.
