Top Moments: Fighting for the Bonus Point

MINNEAPOLIS – As Gopher Hockey prepares for a historic season in 2020-21, GopherSports.com takes one last look back at the 2019-20 campaign with our Top Moments of the Season. 

Another Top Moment of the Season, another deciding goal off the stick of Gopher captain Sammy Walker. 
 

Two weeks after the sophomore scored the overtime winner against Niagara on Oct. 18, Walker was back with a deciding goal in 3-on-3 overtime against Notre Dame on Nov. 1 at 3M Arena at Mariucci. 

In what was officially a 2-2 overtime tie between the Gophers and the Irish, the Maroon & Gold rallied twice in the third period as Nathan Burke and Scott Reedy each found equalizers for Minnesota while three of game's four official goals came within a minute of each other during the final period of regulation. 

After a scoreless 5-on-5 overtime session, Walker and his long-time linemate Blake McLaughlin paired up with defenseman Ryan Zuhlsdorf to grab the Big Ten bonus point for the home team in the 3-on-3 overtime period.
