MATT CARLE, DEFENSEMAN, JR., DENVER

Dave Starman
"NoDak had their big guns trained on him all weekend. He was better Saturday night. NoDak can forecheck you to death, and finish hits, but Carle managed to be a big factor Saturday."

Adam Wodon
"Three more assists for the nation's leader in points for defensemen. The big test is this weekend. He needs to help defend Sertich and Sterling."

Billy Jaffe
"Carle is, hands down, the best all-around defenseman in the country."

Inside College Hockey
Leads the nation's blueliners in goals and ranks third among all players in assists, solid in his own end and a terrific leader. One can argue convincingly that he's having one of the best seasons by a defenseman in the last 20 years.
