Four players with Gophers ties will compete for Team USA - current Gophers in Ben Meyers, Brock Faber and Matthew Knies, and Minnesota alum Aaron Ness - at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

The Hurricanes selected LaFontaine in the third round and 75th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft.

The Gophers now sit atop the Big Ten with 25 points after their comeback win.

Junior co-captain Ben Meyers recorded three points - two goals and one assist - in Minnesota’s victory.
