The former Fargo Force star got his third goal of the season Saturday night when the Gophers beat UND in Minneapolis.

His head coach says the freshman has all the tools to be a difference maker in the WCHA.

“He's come along very well. He's always had great speed and now he's learning some of the other elements of the game and he's got to continue to learn to get into those traffic areas which he's willing to do now and then once he engages then come up with pucks.”

The gopher’s 3 point weekend was still not enough to get into the top 20. Und dropped from four to five.
