1. Caleb Heil gets the start
In 2018, UND surprisingly started freshman Adam Scheel for the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game against Minnesota in Orleans Arena.
Scheel turned in an impressive performance and took over the starting job from there.
On Saturday, UND freshman Caleb Heil got the call over sophomore Jan Špunar, but there was no Adam Scheel moment.
Heil, who opened his college career with back-to-back shutouts of Bentley, allowed four goals on 32 shots.
"Need internal competition," UND coach Dane Jackson said about the decision to start Heil. "Some of our top guys haven't been quite good enough. I didn't think Spoons was that strong in Minneapolis. Got to compete and give other guys opportunities to see what we've got."
UND's team save percentage is .876, ranking 54th of 63 NCAA teams.
2. Cooper Simpson gets promotion
UND freshman forward Cooper Simpson went from healthy scratch to winger on captain Cole Reschny's line for the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game.
