UMD (13-19-3) and ASU (20-13-2) will do it all over again tomorrow night with a 8:00 p.m. CT puck drop at Mullet Arena.

Senior center Dominic James pulled the game into a 2-2 draw midway through the second period with a net drive that ended in a stop and pop for his 13th goal of the season. 51 seconds later, however, the Sun Devils tacked on a third goal, this time from Bennett Schimek at 11:20.

Not to be outdone by his younger brother, Zam Plante helped UMD pull even at 3-3, one-timing a pass from the bottom of the left circle from Owen Gallatin at 16:28.

It was everything University of Minnesota Duluth men’s hockey fans could have wanted in a National Collegiate Hockey Conference Quarterfinal Friday night in Tempe, Arizona – everything but a Bulldog win.

No. 12 Arizona State University snuck out of Mullet Arena with a 4-3 game one win in a game that was as equal as the regular season proved to be between the two sides. The two squads have now played four-straight games with the winner decided by a single goal, and like every game this season, it was a fast-paced, high scoring back and forth affair.

BULLDOG NOTES: Max Plante has now notched a point in all five games he’s skated in against ASU this season … Friday was Plane’s second contest against the Sun Devils with two points … in all, Plante has four goals and three assists for seven points in five games … Zam Plate also had a goal and an assist for the Bulldogs in the skate.

One of the league’s best rookie’s for a reason, Max Plante gets the Dogs on the board! pic.twitter.com/xNtb7lZYQO

Adam Gajan faced the Sun Devils for the first time this season and had 19 saves, while ASU goaltender Luke Pavicich had 28. Neither team landed a power play goal – UMD went 0-of-2 and the Sun Devils, who were outshot by UMD 31-22, were 0-of-1.

The Sun Devils jumped out to a 2-0 lead after scoring goals less than three minutes apart at 3:51 and 6:44. But the Bulldogs cut that lead at the 12:37 mark on Max Plante’s fourth goal against ASU this season, a quick wrist shot from the slot to pull UMD within one.

The third period started as a clean state for both squads, and if anything, an advantage for the Bulldogs, who had outshot the Sun Devils 21-15, but ASU’s Anthony Dowd scored the eventual game-winner at the 5:39 mark and would hold on to take game one of the quarterfinal series.
