Three goals versus Penn State
ROSEMONT, Ill. - With a three-goal performance in last week's series, Minnesota forward Bryce Brodzinski picked up Big Ten Conference Men's Hockey Third Star of the Week accolades it was announced Tuesday.
Brodzinski scored in both games of the series against No. 7/8 Penn State, including his fourth-career, multi-goal game Friday. His first goal of the weekend pulled the Golden Gophers even, 1-1, Thursday night for the 30th tally of his collegiate career. On Friday night, he broke a 1-1 tie in the third period with what proved to be the game winner before he went right back to work with his second of the contest just 66 seconds later scoring an insurance marker in the 3-1 victory.
The Blaine, Minn., native is averaging a point per game during B1G action thanks to points in five of his last six outings, while his four goals in league play are tied for the most of any skater. It is the second time in his career he has been named a B1G Star of the Week after earning second star honors Feb. 4, 2020.
He joins Logan Cooley (First Star, Oct. 4), Jimmy Snuggerud (First Star, Oct. 11), and Justen Close (Second Star, Nov. 8) as Gophers to have earned a weekly conference award this season.
Next Up: Away at No. 3 Michigan (Nov. 17)
Minnesota does not play at home again for nearly a month as it begins a six-game road stretch at Michigan Nov. 17-18. Catch both games on the Big Ten Network and the Gopher Radio Network.
