 Well, coming off a thrilling season opening when Friday night at home, BSU men's hockey now face their first true road test of the season at Duluth. Part two of the home and home series with the Bulldogs, and so arena we go Saturday night, and the men between the pipes were fantastic. Leo Fitzgerald off the rebound, but denied by Nick Deerey from his back somehow. But every stop he made, Michael Bitzer had two. Duluth with an eye man attack, but Bitzer shuts the door with a glove, a career high 45 stops on the evening. Beavers had some great looks and scoring chances throughout, but Deerey somehow keeps the puck from crossing the crease. This one goes to OT, but ends in a scoreless tie. BSU though would win the exhibition shootout with a bragging right still back at home this weekend against Air Force.
