The Mavs can't get it done in OT, but take at least a point on both nights vs the Tommies. St. Cloud native Jack Smith had the highlight of the night, scoring off a Tristan Lemyre feed with 1:13 to go to send it to the extra period for @minnstmhockey.bsky.social. Highlights ⬇️

HC Luke Strand is one win shy of reaching 5️⃣ 0️⃣ as the head coach of @MinnStMHockey.
Mike Hastings reached 50 wins in 81 games, the fastest for an MSU coach in program history. A win tonight would give Strand his 50th in 84 games on the bench.

MSU's 49 SOG tonight marks the 3rd-most recorded in regulation in a loss in program history. The xG was 7.5-3.1 favoring MSU.
The defense has some things to clean up tomorrow, but the offense deserved more than two goals and moved the puck really well.
