After briefly falling to No. 2 in the rankings, the Gophers have reclaimed the top spot in college hockey. And they showed this weekend why they never should have moved.
After defeating No. 9 North Dakota 5-2 on Friday, the No. 1 Gophers (7-0-1, 5-0-1 WCHA) returned Saturday afternoon and won in a dominating fashion.
The Gophers shut out North Dakota on just seven shots, and they recorded 51 shots of their own on their way to a 5-0 victory.
