Last Week: The RedHawks opened the new year with a non-conference series split against Rensselaer.

Jack Roslovic evened the score briefly, but another RPI goal before the second intermission capped the scoring and gave it a 3-2 series opening win (Recap). After Andrew Schmit netted a goal two minutes into Sunday's finale, the RedHawks entered the third period trailing 2-1. MU responded by taking the first 10 shots of the third and getting goals from Alex Gacek and Justin Greenberg, along with an empty net goal out of Chris Joyaux to seal away a 4-2 comeback win (Recap). This Week: The Red and White resume NCHC play against Minnesota Duluth on Friday night.

It was the first 20-point game by a RedHawk this season and also the first of McKnight's career.
