It was his second career multi-goal game (10/22/16 at UNH). He finished with 10 points (3g, 7a) during the point streak and now has 22 points on the season, which ties for 12th nationally. Halloran s 15 assists this season already surpassed the most by a Tiger in each of the last two full seasons and tie for eighth in the NCAA. The Tigers continued their success on Saturday with the tie against DU. CC is now 5-2-1 on Saturday this season, with its only losses coming at home to No. 3 North Dakota (Oct. 28) and at No. 2 St. Cloud State (Nov. 18). CC won five games on Saturday all of last season.

The Cup is named after Julie and Spencer Penrose, who were tremendously successful in the business world and did much of it in Colorado Springs in the early 1900s. The couple made much of their money in the copper industry, which is why the trophy includes copper stars on it. The Penroses also set up the El Pomar Foundation, which still today helps pay for amateur sports and other non-profits, including the NCHC office located in the Copper Building next to the Penrose House on the grounds of the Penrose compound in Colorado Springs. The El Pomar Foundation has also issued grants for the Penrose Cup, medallions for each individual champion and the NCHC s annual Post-Graduate Scholarship. Denver won its first Penrose Cup last season, while North Dakota won back-to-back Penrose Cups in 2015 and 2016 after St. Cloud State won the inaugural season. NCHC Tournament/Frozen Faceoff The NCHC Tournament will consist of four quarterfinal series on the first weekend following regular-season play (March 9-11, 2018). The four higher seeds will host the four lower seeds in a best two-out-of-three format. Seed #1 will host Seed #8, Seed #2 will host Seed #7, Seed #3 will host Seed #6, and Seed #4 will host Seed #5. The winners of the four quarterfinal series will advance to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minn. for the two semifinal games on Friday, March 16. Semifinal games will be reseeded based on the final regularseason standings. The winners of the two semifinal games (4:08/7:38 p.m. CT) will then meet in the Championship Game (7:38 p.m. CT) on Saturday, March 17 for an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the two losers from the semifinal games will face each other in the third-place game (3:38 p.m. CT) earlier in the day. 2016-17 Final NCHC Standings Conference Overall Pts.

Previous Week Round-Up FRIDAY, DEC. 8 Friday night saw a little bit of everything in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) as two games went to overtime, with one ending in a shootout and one in 3-on-3 overtime, while elsewhere a hat trick was recorded and a pair of top-20 NCHC teams fell to unranked foes. In a battle of top-five teams nationally and the top two teams in the NCHC standings, No. 5/5 North Dakota earned two points with a 2-2 overtime tie and a sudden-death shootout win at No. 2/2 St. Cloud State to move into a tie for first place in the NCHC with the Huskies. Omaha snapped a five-game losing streak in NCHC play with a 7-5 win over No. 17 Minnesota Duluth behind three power play goals and sophomore forward Zach Jordan s first career hat trick. In Kalamazoo, Miami also knocked off a top-20 foe, downing rival No. 11/10 Western Michigan, 5-2, at Lawson Ice Arena behind three points each from junior forward Josh Melnick and sophomore forward Gordie Green as the Broncos dropped their fourth straight game. And in the Gold Pan rivalry, Colorado College snapped a 14-game losing streak to top-ranked Denver, using a last-second goal in regulation to earn a 4-4 tie, before picking up the extra NCHC standings point with a 3-on-3 overtime goal. In a thrilling top-five clash Friday at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, the game lived up to the hype as No. 5/5 North Dakota and No. 2/2 St. Cloud State skated to a 2-2 overtime tie, before the Fighting Hawks earned the extra point in the NCHC standings by winning a shootout. The Huskies (11-2-1, 6-2-1-0 NCHC) grabbed one-goal leads twice, the first off the stick of freshman forward Easton Brodzinski midway through the second period and again when sophomore forward Ryan Poehling stole the puck and scored unassisted early in the third period. But UND (10-4-5, 5-2-2-0/2 NCHC) answered within four minutes each time, junior forward Rhett Gardner doing so first and then sophomore forward Cole Smith had the game-tying goal for good. After scoreless 5-on-5 and 3-on-3 overtimes, UND junior defenseman Christian Wolanin scored in the first round of the shootout for the extra standings point. SCSU outshot the Fighting Hawks, 33-32, though UND had a 5-1 edge in overtime. North Dakota also killed all six Husky power plays. Behind three points each from junior forward Josh Melnick and sophomore forward Gordie Green, Miami knocked off rival No. 11/10 Western Michigan, 5-2, Friday night at Lawson Ice Arena in their series opener. Green opened the scoring midway through the first frame with the first of his two goals, but a WMU power play goal from sophomore forward Hugh McGing, who had a two-point night, tied the game early in the second stanza. However, the RedHawks (8-7-2, 3-3-1-0 NCHC) answered less than a minute later with a power play goal of their own off the stick of sophomore forward Karch Bachman to regain the lead. Melnick and Green picked up the assists. Melnick then doubled Miami s lead later in the middle period when he stole the puck and wristed it into the net to make it 3-1 for the eventual game-winner. The lead ballooned to 4-1 before the Broncos (9-8-1, 5-4-0-0 NCHC) struck on the power play for a second time to make it 4-2, but Green sealed the victory with an empty-netter for his second goal of the night. WMU outshot Miami, 34-25, in the loss, but sophomore goalie Ryan Larkin made 32 saves to earn the win in net for the RedHawks. The Broncos finished 2-for-5 on the power play while MU was 1-for-4. In a high-scoring, wild affair, Omaha received a hat trick from sophomore forward Zach Jordan and tallied three times on the power play to outlast No. 17 Minnesota Duluth, 7-5, Friday at Baxter Arena. The teams wasted little time getting on the board as senior forward Avery Peterson put the Bulldogs (7-9- 2, 2-7-0-0 NCHC) in front only 23 ticks into the game, while Jordan answered to tie it minutes later. The sides then traded four more goals to finish the first frame knotted at 3-3. Freshman defenseman Scott Perunovich gave UMD the lead again 37 seconds into the second, but the Mavericks (7-7-1, 2-5-0-0 NCHC) rattled off three straight goals to close the period. Jordan completed his first career hat trick with two of the goals, including the game-winner to make it 6-4, while senior forward David Pope added his second power play goal of the night during the middle period as well. UMD got within one early in the third period but would get no closer as Omaha snapped a five-game losing streak in NCHC play. Omaha held a slight, 36-34, edge in shots, while going 3-for-7 on the power play and 6-for-6 on the penalty kill. Snapping a 14-game losing streak to top-ranked Denver, Colorado College earned two points against their long-time rivals, using late-game heroics to earn a 4-4 overtime tie Friday at Magness Arena, while scoring in 3-on-3 overtime to get the extra point in the NCHC standings. With the Tigers (7-7-1, 3-5- 1-1/0 NCHC) trailing 4-3, junior forward Mason Bergh capped a three-point night by scoring his 10th goal of the season with an extra attacker with only 7 ticks left in regulation to force the tie and overtime. After neither team scored in 5-on-5 overtime, freshman forward Christiano Versich tallied in 3-on-3 overtime to get the extra standings point for CC. Colorado College took a 1-0 lead in the closing seconds of the first period, but the Pioneers (9-3-3, 5-3-1-0 NCHC) answered early in the second stanza. Sophomore forward Nick Halloran scored two goals and had three points with his first tally putting CC back in front and the second tying the game at 3-3 in the third period. Denver grabbed a 3-2 lead after two goals in two minutes to close the middle frame with junior forward Dylan Gambrell scoring one and assisting the other. After Halloran s second tally, DU regained the lead with a snipe with 2:28 left in regulation, setting the stage for Bergh. Denver outshot CC, 38-31, in the tie. SATURDAY, DEC. 9 On the final night of National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) play in 2017, Saturday turned out to be somewhat of déjà vu from Friday as once again two games needed overtime and a hat trick was recorded. In the marquee series of the weekend, No. 2/2 St. Cloud State picked up a 3-1 win over No. 5/5 North Dakota thanks to two goals from junior forward Mikey Eyssimont and reclaimed sole possession of first place in the NCHC heading into the new year. In another thrilling game, sophomore forward Wade Allison recorded a natural hat trick, his second hat trick of the season, to lead No. 11/10 Western Michigan to a 4-3 comeback win over Miami with Allison capping the hat trick in overtime. For the second straight night, Gold Pan rivals Colorado College and top-ranked Denver played to a stalemate, tying 1-1 after overtime, while DU picked up the extra point in the standings with a 3-on-3 overtime goal. In the final game of the night, No. 17 Minnesota Duluth earned a series split with a 6-2 win at Dec. 11-17, 2017 NCHCHockey.com NCHC.tv 17

Previous Week Round-Up Omaha. In a battle for first place, No. 2/2 St. Cloud State used a second-period outburst and strong goaltending to down No. 5/5 North Dakota, 3-1, Saturday night at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center to take back sole possession of first place. After a scoreless first frame, junior forward Robby Jackson broke the deadlock early in the middle period to put the Huskies (12-2-1, 7-2-1-0 NCHC) in front. Classmate Mikey Eyssimont then tacked on two goals a minute apart, the latter on the power play, to make it 3-0 midway through the second stanza. UND sophomore forward Cole Smith brought the Fighting Hawks within two, potting a rebound with a second left in the second period, but the Fighting Hawks (10-5-5, 5-3-2-0/2 NCHC) were unable to find the back of the net in the third period as SCSU freshman netminder Dávid Hrenák totaled 34 saves, including 11 in the final frame. Despite the loss, UND outshot the Huskies heavily, 35-18, but was 0-for-3 on the power play. Both teams are idle until just before the new year as SCSU travels to Princeton Dec. 29-30, while UND hosts the U.S. U-18 Team in an exhibition on Dec. 30. In perhaps the most thrilling game of the night, sophomore forward Wade Allison recorded a natural hat trick to lead No. 11/10 Western Michigan to a 4-3 comeback win over Miami in overtime Saturday at Lawson Ice Arena. The Broncos (10-8-1, 6-4-0-0 NCHC) actually jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as Allison set up sophomore forward Dawson DiPietro less than a minute into the game. But the RedHawks (8-8-2, 3-4-1-0 NCHC) rattled off three straight goals, with a short-handed tally from junior defenseman Grant Hutton tying the game and senior blue liner Louie Belpedio putting Miami in front in the final minute of the first frame. Sophomore forward Gordie Green then made it 3-1 with a power play goal midway through the middle period. That s when Allison took over, notching his first goal a few minutes later, before tying the game with 4:02 remaining in regulation. He then capped his second hat trick of the season and a career-high four-point night 3:53 into overtime when he took a feed from junior forward Colt Conrad, who had two assists in the game, and skated in on a breakaway for the game-winner and his NCHC-leading 14th goal of the season. WMU outshot Miami, 34-23, in the win, despite going 0-for-5 on the man advantage. WMU is back in action on Thursday, Dec. 28 at Bowling Green, while Miami is off until Dec. 30 when they host an exhibition game against Windsor. totaling 37 saves and DU senior Tanner Jaillet stopping 23 shots, as Denver (9-3-4, 5-3-2-1/0 NCHC) outshot the Tigers, 38-24, in the game. Both teams step out of conference play next weekend with DU hosting Dartmouth Friday and Saturday, and CC entertaining Arizona State on Saturday and Sunday. Behind three points each from sophomore forward Joey Anderson, freshman defenseman Scott Perunovich and junior forward Peter Krieger, No. 17 Minnesota Duluth earned a 6-2 win at Omaha Saturday night at Baxter Arena to salvage a series split. Anderson put the Bulldogs (8-9-2, 3-7-0-0 NCHC) in front early with a power play goal, but the Mavericks (7-8-1, 2-6-0-0 NCHC) answered later in the first frame with a power play goal of their own. Senior forward Karson Kuhlman made it 2-1 UMD in the first minute of the second stanza, while Krieger used one of his three assists to set up fellow senior Blake Young for the eventual game-winner midway through the middle period. Omaha cut the deficit in half less than two minutes later, but sophomore forward Riley Tufte scored the first of his two goals on the night 32 seconds after UNO to make it 4-2 UMD after 40 minutes. Perunovich and Tufte then tallied again in the final frame to seal the victory as Perunovich and Anderson both had a goal and two helpers in the win. Despite the loss, Omaha outshot the Bulldogs, 34-26, but sophomore goalie Hunter Shepard made 32 saves to collect the win in net for UMD. The Bulldogs return to the ice Dec. 29-30 at the Ledyard Classic, where they ll face Yale and tournament-host Dartmouth, while the Mavericks host No. 19 Union for two games those same days. For the second straight night, Gold Pan rivals Colorado College and top-ranked Denver were unable to decide a winner, as the teams battled to a 1-1 overtime tie Saturday night at the Broadmoor World Arena, while the Pioneers picked up the extra point in the NCHC standings with a 3-on-3 overtime win. The Tigers (7-7-2, 3-5-2-1/0 NCHC) pounced on a 1-0 lead when junior forward Trevor Gooch knocked in the puck with only 1:57 left in the first frame. The game remained a one-goal game until DU sophomore forward Liam Finlay struck only 17 ticks into the third period to tie the contest and force overtime.
