Goaltender Jack LaFontaine earned his first collegiate shutout on Tuesday.

With just a few days before the 2020 season officially tips off, the Gophers’ have finally released their schedule for their upcoming campaign.

Minnesota won’t face Wisconsin for the first time since 1906 amid a rise in positive COVID-19 cases within the program.

Gophers goalie Lauren Bench had an impressive debut for Minnesota, stopping 69/71 shots on goal over the weekend.

Minnesota had a strong showing against the Nittany Lions in its first two games, beating the Nittany Lions 4-1 on Thursday and 3-2 on Friday.

Rebounding from a one touchdown performance against Iowa, the Gophers won a shootout against the Boilermakers.

Minnesota almost blew an 11-point lead but were saved by an offensive pass interference penalty followed by an interception.

Minnesota will be without 20 players due to injury and COVID-19 as well as offensive line coach Brian Callahan and other staff members.

The Gophers face three of the top four WCHA teams in their eight-game slate.

After a long wait, the Gophers’ opening day game has been set. Just like much of the season, the time is still uncertain.
