Not a sweep as we didn’t get Forward of the week but 3 outta 4 is nice.

Total goals is mostly meaningless.

UND is 16th in goals per game playing a marginally more difficult than average strength of schedule.

They just announced that Zmolek will miss the remainder of the season. Not a huge surprise. Hopefully he can recover in time for next season.

Likely qualifies for a medical redshirt

Will they be bringing anyone in to fill that roster spot?

Currently it’s unknown though I imagine if we do bring someone in it would be announced in the next few days

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-defenseman-bennett-zmolek-out-for-the-season

Article doesn't really clarify...just lower body.

Quote

Junior defenseman Bennett Zmolek recently had an operation on a lower-body injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

"I feel bad for him, I really do," UND coach Brad Berry said. "Obviously, our group could have used him in our lineup for a lot of different reasons. But for him, the biggest thing now is for him to get better and looking toward his future here after this and moving forward. We're going to miss him."

Article also had a little update on Berg:

Quote

Fighting Hawks first-line center Cameron Berg hasn't played since Nov. 9 against Minnesota Duluth due to a lower-body injury.

UND is hoping he will make his return after Christmas break. UND's next regular-season games are Jan. 10-11 at Arizona State.

"We're hoping he gets back on the ice when we come back from break," Berry said. "From there, we'll determine how close he is. We're shooting for that weekend (Arizona State), but at the end of the day, we'll have to see when we come back from Christmas break. We'll have more clarity on that side."

I have been told it could be career ending.

That's alright. The NCAA gives kids 7-8 years to play these days.

Yeah, that was discussed a bit ago on here as well.
Hopefully that's just a rumor and he's able to make it back...

From my understanding there’s no limit to the number of medical redshirts a player receives

Do you ever contribute anything that is positive? Just asking for a friend. UND's is ranked 5th in the nation for power play. But, but, but. Let Fire Berry, the PK is ranked 43rd in the nation. For the ones that care, UND is CHN's team of the week.

Lower-body injury.

Team of the week.  Chaves is no doubt looking at a five year extension as we speak.

I am more surprised Wodon’s site recognized UND.
