In last Friday's 9-6 win at the Xcel Energy Center, Irmen led all scorers by a wide margin with three goals - including a shorthanded marker - and one assist. It marked his first career hat trick and four-point game. For the weekend, Irmen had five shots and was a team-best +4. He is now second on the team in scoring this season with 17-13--30. Irmen is first on the team this season with a plus-minus rating of +16. He is second on the team with eight multi-point games. Irmen has an assist in 11 of 24 games this season and a goal in 13 of the last 20 contests.
The award is the second WCHA Player of the Week honor for Irmen this season.
Fourth-ranked Minnesota begins a four-game homestand this weekend with a series against Michigan Tech on Friday-Saturday, Jan. 21-22, at Mariucci Arena. Both games will face off at 7:07 p.m., and will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net North and WCCO 830 AM.
