Minnesota State shut out St. Thomas 2-0 Saturday to complete a home sweep. Sawyer Scholl scored the game-winner in the first period, and Alex Zetterberg sealed the win with an empty-net goal as goalie Lassi Lehti turned aside every shot he faced.

By the Numbers
  • Lehti made 30 saves for his first shutout with Minnesota State.
  • The Mavericks were outshot 30-25 but recorded 25 shots, above their 18.8 season average.
  • Lehti made 81 saves over the weekend and has recorded at least 30 in back-to-back games.
Yes, But

St. Thomas generated more shots and sustained pressure, including on the power play, but couldn’t get past Lehti. Minnesota State’s penalty kill and timely blocks kept the Tommies scoreless.

Minnesota State hosts Lake Superior State Friday at 7:07 p.m. at Mayo Clinic HSEC.

Bottom Line

The Mavericks turned a high-pressure game into a sweep with strong goaltending, a successful penalty kill and a late insurance goal.
