The University of Denver erased a third-period deficit for the third consecutive game to clinch the No. 2 seed in the WCHA Playoffs with a 3-3 tie against Colorado College in front of 6,124 fans at Magness Arena.

The Pioneers played their second overtime game in a row against the Tigers following their 5-4 win Thursday night in Colorado Springs. DU's victory extended its unbeaten streak in overtime to 16 games, and the Pioneers are 6-0-1 in their last seven games against Colorado College.

"I thought we played pretty well in the first period, but we just didn't finish around the net," DU Head Coach George Gwozdecky said. "After they scored their second goal, you could see the change in how we moved the puck, shared the puck and relied on our simple-but-effective style of play."
