NO. 8/10 ST. CLOUD STATE (14-6-1 WCHA, 17-11-1 OVERALL)

The Huskies are No. 9 in the PairWise Rankings going into Saturday’s game with Minnesota.

St. Cloud State has a couple changes on the third and fourth lines. Sophomore Brooks Bertsch, who was the left wing on the fourth line Friday, moves up to right wing on the third line. Sophomore Garrett Milan, a healthy scratch Friday, is the left wing on the fourth line. Redshirt freshman David Morley, who had a shot on goal and was a plus-1 Friday, is a scratch. Not sure right now if Morley is a healthy scratch or if he suffered an injury.

NO. 1 MINNESOTA (11-4-4 WCHA, 19-4-4 OVERALL)

The Gophers are No. 2 in the PairWise Rankings going into Saturday’s game. The Gophers gave SCSU sports information errant offensive lines before Friday’s game, so I’m not 100 percent sure on the changes.

Freshman A.J. Michaelson is in the lineup after being a scratch Friday. He replaces junior Jake Parenteau in the lineup. From the lines I scratched down during the game Friday, it looks like the top two lines are the same. On the third line, Travis Boyd moves up to center Tom Serratore and Seth Ambroz. On the fourth line, Christian Isackson will center Michaelson and Justin Holl.

The defensive pairings and freshman Adam Wilcox starting in goal is the same as last night.

About Mick Hatten

I cover St. Cloud State hockey and I am a general assignment reporter for the sports department at the Times. This is my third season covering the Huskies hockey programs.

My wife Kristin and I have two boys (Luke, 4 1/2, and Josh, 2 1/2) and we live in St. Cloud. I have had two stints working at the Times. I worked here from 1986-91 as a part-time sports reporter and intern. I have been back since Aug. 1999. I spent one year as the prep sports coordinator, six years as the St. Cloud State reporter (football, men's and women's basketball and everything else but hockey) and spent four years as the Citizen Times editor. The last two years, I was also the editor of the Rocori Times and Sauk Rapids-Rice Times sections, which are mailed directly to people in those two school districts.

Follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MickHatten or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sctimesmick. I do online chats about college hockey during the season from 1-2 p.m. Thursdays at www.sctimes.com.
