Minnesota has proven stout against the run this season, allowing 108.1 yards on 3.4 yards per carry. Opposing teams forced to pass must contend with a fierce pass rush that ranks fourth nationally, averaging 3.56 per game and totaling 32. The Gophers had seven sacks during their 23-20 overtime win over Michigan State on Nov. 1.

A Marcus Johansson tally in the first minute of the second period proved to be the only goal either netminder allowed, as Mrazek was simply outdueled by Jesper Wallstedt.
