Connor Kurth and Sam Rinzel each posted three points, and the No. 5 Minnesota men’s hockey team hung seven goals on St. Thomas Friday night in a 7-1 victory in its home opener at 3M Arena at Mariucci.
Despite allowing the game’s first goal for the first time this season, the Golden Gophers (4-1-0 overall) responded in a big way with the final seven tucks to take down the Tommies (1-2-1 overall). Ten different skaters recorded a point, while six had multi-point performances to pace the Maroon and Gold to its seventh-straight home-opening win.
