With the overtime clock ticking away, Logan Cooley dazzled the sellout crowd with a game-winning goal and the No. 1/3 ranked Golden Gophers men's hockey team skated to a 2-1 win against No. 4 St. Cloud State Sunday afternoon inside 3M Arena at Mariucci.
Brock Faber made a perfect play in the defensive end for Minnesota (16-6-0 overall) to break up the Huskies (15-5-0 overall) attack and got the home side on the rush. Cooley picked up the puck from his captain and cut to the middle of the ice before waiting for the goaltender to commit and lifted the game winner into the open cage with 18.8 seconds remaining. The win gave Gophers' head coach Bob Motzko his 100th career victory for the Maroon and Gold, coming against the team he led for 13 seasons.
