I assume NoDak will rest some top players?
No UND pretty much played everyone that wasn't hurt.
Donovan played on the first power play unit and had an assist. Zucker was sensational with a goal and shot that hit the post in limited playing time.
USA won 4-2. Zucker's goal was the game winner.
Good point DG UND is a banged up squad, two seniors on the shelf, Genoway Concussion, Zajac Hernia operaton and Kristo on Team USA. It was actually a pretty good game. Everyone on the roster but the third string goalie played last night.
