https://www.collegehockeynews.com/players/career/Bennett-Zmolek/58028 Looks like he played 28 of 44 games his 1st season at Mankato (not sure how many of those missed games were due to injury though). Then missed his entire Soph season. Last season at UND he played 33 of 40 games. This season he's played one of 7. I love the way the kid plays the game, but it sure leads to him sustaining a ton of injuries.

The team could add another player, but they would have to enroll in school by a certain date in order to be eligible this semester. That's why the new goalie from the club team is eligible, because he was already enrolled at UND. If they added a player before semester break, then that player could start playing during the 2nd half of the season. UND has done that before (Siembida, etc).

Yep, good to hear that Berg is back but sucks for the d-corps having three out still. Monty dressing as a dman again. No timetables on returns for Zmolek, Strathmann, Croal, or Komzak in this article...that's probably not a good sign. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/cameron-berg-expected-to-return-to-lineup?fbclid=IwY2xjawGYvk1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZrcXezQr7-aKMPkVid-H4Eeep5xh8r2MkHracHI3HAVWMoXPxKOPoEJ9Q_aem_nT2XArcMa7htbMvsIaF9dw Right?! He got in one game and then has been out the rest of the season. Need him back sooner rather than later...

Guessing we'll hear a bit more today about the injured players...hopefully a few of them are able to make the trip to UMD.

And on cue:

Updated as of 11/3 removed McInnis from the recruit list Bumgarner with his first USHL goal Laurila with a great start...leads the USHL in points for a D and is 9th in scoring among all players Heil off to a good start as well, much improved from last season so far USHL (Forwards) Klee (Muskegon) - '05: 12gp - 5g/3a Pilgrim (Tri-City) - '06: 12gp - 1g/7a Schultz (Chicago) - '06: 11gp - 3g/2a Zellers (Green Bay) - '06: 8gp - 6g/2a O'Neill (NTDP U18) - '07: 14gp - 2g/5a Sanderson (Muskegon) - '07: 6gp - 1g/0a Bumgarner (Fargo) - '08: 13gp - 1g/0a USHL (Defensemen) Laurila (Fargo) - '06: 13gp - 1g/12a Lindberg (NTDP U18) - '07: 13gp - 0g/2a USHL (Goalies) Heil (Madison) - '06: 7gp - .917 / 2.12 (6-0-1) Other Simpson - MN HS - '07: 0gp - 0g/0a McKamey - BCHL - '09: 14gp - 4g/3a

Wouldn't be a surprise IMO. Probably saw the writing on the wall with us probably not losing any D players for next season, but adding Laurila.

At least a split against Cornell would have helped, for sure. Providence continues to win, which helps since we are their only loss. Can't afford slip-ups against RMU or BSU. A win or two against DU in the four we play against them would be big.

Johnson out longterm with injury, so UND adds a new goalie to roster: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/with-kaleb-johnson-sidelined-longterm-und-adds-goalie-to-roster?fbclid=IwY2xjawGV56JleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTcFH2VypR_8VbKUpidFc_PqhyDtDE169xg1ntPB8boDQBbTjosZ8rJ3dQ_aem_t-DMn5Cw9clobQeb-B94xQ He got called up from the club team! Sweet.

NCHC opener for both teams. UMD coming off a bye week. UND coming off a brutal series out east. Both teams have 3-4 records entering this series, but UMD has played a weaker schedule. Two wins against Stonehill and one against UML. James and Shaugabay have 10 of the teams 21 goals. Pionk with 8 assists already from the blueline. This is a huge series for UND. Starts with figuring out if we can get any players back from injury. Getting Berg back (sounds likely) would be massive. Also, I'm really hoping that at least 1-2 of the injured dmen are able to make it back so that we're not forced to play a forward at D just to fill a roster spot. I'd hope to see Hobie to start on Friday and the boys can get him his first win of the 24/25 season.

Was hoping that Hobie would take the goalie reins with his chance tonight, but seems like both he and TJ let in some softies this weekend. Goalie battle is still alive...really hoping that one of them starts stringing together some good games in a row. Hopefully starting next weekend.

Ha! A game he'll want to forget, for sure.

That goal was all him. Despite a pretty horrid offensive team showing, Jammer, James, and Boisvert had their chances. Those three stood out more than the others.

That sounds pretty accurate. Some really good UND teams haven't swept UMD in Duluth. And DU is rolling teams right now, and making it look easy.

No worries man, hope your recovery goes ok. I've been there...dealt with kidney stones three times in my life so far. One of those things you wouldn't wish upon anyone. Take care!

We travel to UMD next weekend...DU is the following weekend.

Hopefully a few of these injured players can make it back for the Duluth series.

Forgot to play for a couple periods?

If you say so!

Hopefully we can sneak out a split.

I'm sure there's still an ENG to look forward to.

Cornell has more goals this period than UND has shots. Brutal 3rd.

Geez, they only have 5 shot attempts. Wth. Get it together during intermission and score one on the PP.
