Main Story

Yan Shostak stopped 42 shots to lead St. Cloud State to a 2-1 win over Arizona State, splitting the teams’ weekend series. The Huskies built an early two-goal lead, and a successful offside challenge erased what would have been ASU’s tying goal. Shostak then held off a heavy third-period push to secure the win.

Yes, But

Arizona State generated sustained pressure and appeared to tie the game early in the second period, but the goal was overturned after an offside review. The Sun Devils also hit the post twice, while SCSU played without captain Jack Reimann, who was injured the night before.

State of Play
  • SCSU’s Hayden Paupanekis and William Ahlrik scored in the first period.
  • Shostak has a .930 save percentage through five games this season.
