Minnesota jumped on top quickly as Westrum scored at the 1:57 mark of the first period on the power play. Jordan Leopold and John Pohl assisted on the goal.
The Bulldogs responded in the first period at 7:50 as Derek Derow beat goalie Adam Hauser to knot the game at one.
Following a scoreless second period, Minnesota moved ahead for good as Jeff Taffe found the back of the net as the Golden Gophers were on the power play with a two-man advantage. The goal at the 8:37 mark would prove to be the difference.
With less than a minute to play, Westrum added an empty net goal and in the process, collected his third straight multiple point game and his second two-goal outing of the season.
Minnesota (3-0-0, 1-0-0) and UMD (0-1-0, 0-1-0) will meet again on Saturday night at Mariucci Arena. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.
