Minnesota Duluth Holds Off Miami in OT

DULUTH, Minn.– The Miami University hockey team scored in the final five minutes of regulation to force overtime, but Minnesota Duluth skated past the RedHawks 3-2 in the extra session Friday night at AMSOIL Arena.
 
Max Dukovac and Ryan Sullivan scored a goal apiece for Miami (3-26-2, 0-21-0 NCHC), while Bruno Bruveris stopped a career-high 38 shots. Max Plante had two points to lead the Bulldogs (12-17-2, 8-12-1 NCHC).

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • 8:01 1st (Miami 1-0) | Dukovac opened the scoring midway through the first period, gloving the puck down in front of him to start a breakaway from the neutral zone. He capped off the play with a backhand finish past UMD's Adam Gajan for an unassisted goal to make it 1-0.
  • 11:47 1st (UMD 1-1) | Braden Fischer answered back for the home team to even the score at 1-1 less than four minutes later. After Kyle Bettens sent a pass along the wall to Ty Hanson, Hanson fired a long-range shot that Fischer was able to rebound and deposit into the back of the net.  
  • 13:39 1st (UMD 2-1) | The Bulldogs took their first lead with a power-play goal after a major penalty against the RedHawks. Callum Arnott roofed a close-range shot over Bruveris off feeds from Plante and Aaron Pionk.
  • 15:24 3rd (Miami 2-2) | Sullivan made it 2-2 with 4:36 remaining in regulation. A pass along the blue line from Rihards Simanovičs to Zane Demsey created the scoring chance, with Sullivan in perfect position to tip Demsey's shot home for the equalizer.
  • 2:02 OT (UMD 3-2) | Jack Smith scored the game-winner in overtime for the Bulldogs, capitalizing on assists from Plante and Owen Gallatin.
 
NOTES
  • Sullivan played in the 150th game of his college career and produced his 30th collegiate point.
  • Dukovac lit the lamp for the first time since Nov. 8.
  • Miami finished with 27 shots on goal, its most since Jan. 18.
  • Demsey's assist was his first since Jan. 13, 2024.
  • With the overtime result, Miami earns a point in the NCHC standings.
