DULUTH, Minn. – 2022 did not start the way the No. 6 Minnesota Duluth men’s hockey team had hopped, as top-ranked Minnesota State Mankato got the 3-0 win in the series finale to sweep the home and home series.

Hermantown native Ryan Sandelin sealed the win against his father’s team, scoring an empty-net goal, his first goal against his dad Scott. Ryan has now won all four meetings against his dad and the Bulldogs.
