On November 13, 2026, the St. Cloud State Huskies (3-5-1)  took on the UMD Bulldogs (7-3-2)

Early on in period 1, both teams would struggle to maintain possession of the puck. The physicality of both teams was on absolute display, especially for St. Cloud State; this tactic would end up costing them their first goal. However, after being notched for a penalty, the Bulldogs entered the power play and were extremely aggressive.

Jayson Shaugabay moved to the right side and passed it over to Zam Plante on the opposite side of the ice. Zam would then shoot the puck just to the left of Huskies goalkeeper Patriks Berzins. Berzins couldn’t reach the puck in time, and Zam’s shot ended up in the back of the net 

Period 2 seemed to be going much better for St. Cloud State after ending period 1 with just seven total shots; they were finally able to test opposing goalkeeper Carl Axelsson with pressure.

However, UMD would maintain their dominance and extend their lead in period 2 after a goal by Hunter Anderson with the assist, coming off the rebound of a shot by Ty Hanson.

After another goal by Blake Bechen and an empty-net goal by Peyton Platter, the Bulldogs would run away with the game in period 3
