brianvf Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Five players didn't make the trip to UNO due to injuries, including Gavin Hain...that was unexpected. Ouch. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-to-start-nchc-play-minus-five-players-due-to-injuries Quote Although National Collegiate Hockey Conference teams are allowed to bring 23 players on road trips, UND did not carry that many on the plane to Omaha on Thursday because five players are out with injuries. The biggest one of the group is fifth-year senior forward Gavin Hain, who has arguably been UND's best all-around player during the first month of the season. Hain is out with a lower-body injury. He will be re-evaluated again next week before the Fighting Hawks host Denver. The other players who will miss this weekend's series against the Mavericks are freshman forward Ben Strinden, senior forward Carson Albrecht, sophomore forward Dane Montgomery and sophomore defenseman Luke Bast. Strinden sustained an injury when he was hit by Arizona State defenseman Tanner Hickey in the first period of Saturday night's U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game in Las Vegas. Strinden did not return to the bench after the first intermission. He is day-to-day. Albrecht sustained an injury before last week's U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game and will remain out. Meanwhile, both Montgomery and Bast have been dealing with nagging upper-body injuries since fall camp. Neither have played a game yet this season. Because of the injuries, UND will only be able to dress 18 skaters for Friday night's series opener against Omaha in Baxter Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Quote UND practiced Thursday afternoon in Baxter Arena. Because Omaha is hosting volleyball tonight, UND skated on the practice rink, which has plenty of natural light coming into it. The team held its weekly shootout competition and Louis Jamernik V won for the first time this season, outlasting Tyler Kleven, Griffin Ness and Ethan Frisch. Shootout winners this season: Gavin Hain (Week 1), Ryan Sidorski (Week 2), Griffin Ness (Week 3), Goalies (Week 4), Tyler Kleven (Week 5) and Jamernik V.

Blake-Schmaltz-James Matteo-McLaughlin-Gaber Senden-Jammer-Judd Kunz-Ness-Portz Guessing they throw Judd up top instead of James, but I'd like to see him given a chance.

That would be my guess as well, but I like your 3rd line where you put him in Hain's place with Sendo/Jammer. I think he'd fit in well with those 2 and might take some of the "scoring pressure" off him if he's not on one of the top 2 lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeytherapy13 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I agree that the losses so far aren't the problem, it's the way we have lost and lack of offensive chances in those games that have been problematic (and losing leads in 5 straight games). I'm ok with not getting a sweep this weekend, although that would be terrific and a great way to get out of the slump. Give me a split where we play well enough in both games to potentially win and I'll be happy as a clam. As long as we are continually improving and in both ends of the ice, this team has upside. Methinks Deridder starts. Deridder has been to good to not play so until he plays himself out of the net, it's all him. Not that this matters now but the last time Hellsten started in Omaha he delivered a big pizza to an UNO forward that ended up in our net and led the way to a Saturday win in Omaha. That game was a bummer because is resulted in us having to share the Penrose with Denver instead of winning outright and knocked us down to 2nd seed for playoffs.

From my seat, I would say DeRidder starts, he’s been really good and Hellsten really hasn’t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeytherapy13 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 With us having so many forwards out injured this weekend, will they play Brent Johnson up as a forward (right wing) on one of the bottom 6 lines? Or Cooper Moore? Or maybe they just double shift forwards to play the other wing on the 4th line all weekend. Interested to see how they play that.

We still have enough forwards to complete four full lines...just won't have an extra forward to dress in case of further injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, you're right. I'm a dummy. I seriously forgot about Judd in my brain's lineup. Not sure if I should read into that or not but then again DeRidder has more points than he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking out the five injured skaters as options still leaves us with 4 forward lines, and 7 D. At least by my count. So we’ll have an extra skater, but it’ll be at D. Schlossman’s article made it sound like we wouldn’t have an extra skater but I think he meant extra forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-to-start-nchc-play-minus-five-players-due-to-injuries That hit on Strinden was a classic enforcer hit. Dude came out and went right for him when he he had the chance after Strinden laid one of their players out. I am not against enforcers in hockey, but we got the short end this time. I like seeing Strinden in the lineup. Hopefully he can heal quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
