GRAND FORKS, N.D. (UND Athletics)– Riding its first 4-0 start in league play since 2015-16, No. 6 North Dakota returns home to host No. 4 Minnesota Duluth for a two-game conference series on Friday and Saturday from Ralph Engelstad Arena.
All UND men’s hockey games, home and away, can be heard on AM 790 FM 014.7 |94.1 and across the Home of Economy Fighting Hawks Radio Network. Longtime broadcaster Tim Hennessy calls the action.
Friday will be the 248th all-time meeting between North Dakota and Minnesota Duluth, with UND holding a 149-87-11 advantage in the series.
The two teams met only three times last season, with all three pouring out a different result. A 2-2 tie and 2-1 UND victory occurred in the NCHC pod down in Omaha, but it was a game on Mar. 27 that made history.
The longest game in NCAA Tournament history happened that night, with Minnesota Duluth defeating UND, 3-2, in five overtimes to advance to the Frozen Four.
North Dakota will turn Ralph Engelstad Arena lavender this weekend as part of Hockey Fights Cancer.
