Bulldogs score clean sweep at St. Cloud State

ST. CLOUD — Minnesota Duluth finished off its first NCHC series sweep of the season, beating St. Cloud State 4-0 on Saturday at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on the SCSU campus. Freshman goaltender Carl Axelsson of Sweden finished with 24 saves on 24 shots for the No. 7-ranked Bulldogs (9-3-2 overall, 4-2 NCHC) to post back-to-back shutouts on back-to-back nights. He’s got five shutouts now this season in 12 starts, and is the only UMD goalie to ever shut out the Huskies in St. Cloud. “As a team, we were challenged to have a good weekend and get some important points here,” said Axelsson, a Utah Mammoth draft pick from Sweden. “I feel like we really answered and had two really good games.” UMD’s goals came from sophomore wing Ryan Zaremba and junior forwards Zam Plante and Jayson Shaugabay. Plante scored two goals and an assist Saturday to cap a six-point series. He had a goal and two assists Friday in what was also a 4-0 win.
