Sophomore Peter Mannino stopped 27 shots for his sixth career shutout, and four different players scored in No. 13 Denver’s 4-0 win over UMass in nonconference action at Mullins Center. Gabe Gauthier, Matt Carle, Ryan Helgason, and Adrian Veideman each scored goals as the Pioneers ended their five-game winless streak. DU improves to 6-6-2 overall, while UMass falls to 4-8-0. <\/p>\n
“We had a great start after taking a tough 1-0 loss last night,” head coach George Gwozdecky said. “We buried our chances early, and Peter played a good game for the shutout. Our team was really determined to end the winless streak tonight.” <\/p>\n
DU jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first 20 minutes. Gauthier, Carle and Helgason scored consecutive goals for Denver, which was shutout last night 1-0. Gauthier banged in a rebound on the power play, Carle wristed in a shot from the left circle, and Helgason launched a laser from the slot for DU’s first three-goal first period of the season. Mannino looked sharp in net with nine saves. <\/p>\n
UMass outshot the Pioneers 14-13 in the second period, but Mannino denied every attempt. DU used a Veideman goal to take a commanding 4-0 lead at 16:16. Veideman’s second goal of the season from the right circle trickled past UMass goaltender Jon Quick (33 saves). <\/p>\n
Mannino stopped four shots in the scoreless final period to secure his first shutout since the 2005 WCHA Final Five championship game against Colorado College on March 19. <\/p>\n
The Pioneers outshot UMass 37-27 and produced a 1-for-6 effort on the power play. DU held UMass scoreless on the man advantage in three attempts. Veideman added two assists for his first career three-point game, while Carle and Gauthier each finished with one goal and one assist. Helgason’s goal was his third in the last four games. <\/p>\n
DU plays a home-and-home series against in-state rival Colorado College on Dec. 2-3. UMass will take on Merrimack Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
