10月23日晚，明尼苏达大学男冰在主场以5比3战胜排名第三的北达科他大学，完成对对手的两场横扫，这也是金地鼠队15年来首次横扫北达科他。
这是系列赛第二场，首场于10月22日晚举行，明尼苏达已在第三节连入四球取胜；10月23日晚的第二场，新生怀亚特·卡伦一人独入三球并送出一次助攻，这三球也是他大学生涯的前三个进球，成为全场最耀眼的球员。
据明尼苏达大学体育部官方战报，北达科他虽然在射门数上以45比22占优，争球也以37比24领先，但明尼苏达全场完成17次封堵，帮助从密歇根州立大学转学而来的门将梅尔文·斯特拉尔守住胜局，他在第三节就做出19次扑救。
明尼苏达上一次对阵北达科他上演帽子戏法，还要追溯到1996年11月9日凯西·汉金森的四球表演。这场胜利让金地鼠队在与老对手的交锋中再添重要一笔，也为接下来的赛程积累信心。

Minnesota Men’s Hockey Sweeps North Dakota 5-3 on the Night of October 23, as Freshman Cullen Scores a Hat Trick for His First Career Goals
On the night of October 23, the University of Minnesota men’s hockey team beat the third-ranked University of North Dakota 5-3 at home, completing a two-game sweep of its opponent, the Gophers’ first sweep of North Dakota in 15 years.
This was the second game of the series; the first game was played on the night of October 22, when Minnesota scored four goals in the third period to win. In the second game on the night of October 23, freshman Wyatt Cullen scored three goals and added one assist, with those three goals also being the first three goals of his college career, making him the standout player of the game.
According to the official game report from the University of Minnesota athletics department, although North Dakota led in shots 45-22 and in faceoffs 37-24, Minnesota blocked 17 shots in the game, helping goaltender Melvin Strahl, a transfer from Michigan State University, hold on for the win, with 19 saves in the third period alone.
Minnesota’s previous hat trick against North Dakota dates back to Casey Hankinson’s four-goal performance on November 9, 1996. The win added another important chapter to the Gophers’ rivalry with their old opponent and built confidence for the schedule ahead.
