DULUTH, Minn. (1/17/24)---Concordia used a 4-goal second period to get back on the winning track in the MIAC.
The Cobbers scored four times in a span of 14:36 in the middle frame and blanked St. Scholastica 4-0.
The teams skated through scoreless first and third periods but it was a shorthanded goal, a power play strike and two even-strength markers that gave Concordia its second conference win of the season.
The Cobbers are now 6-9-1 in all games and 2-4-1 in league play. With the win, CC moves into seventh place in the MIAC standings.
St. Scholastica is now 8-7-1 overall, 3-4-0 in the conference and two points ahead of Concordia in the league standings.
Concordia held the better of the offensive zone time in the first period and outshot the Saints 15-9 but didn't have a goal to show for the effort.
That all changed in the fifth minute of the second period when Caden Triggs scored the eventual game-winning goal while the teams were at even strength.
Senior Isaac Henkemeyer-Howe won possession of the puck in the neutral zone after a CSS turnover. He gained the offensive zone and slid the puck to his left where Caden Triggs settled the pass and knocked the water bottle off the top of the net by sniping the puck just under the crossbar from the left faceoff circle.
The goal was Triggs' third of the season and Henkemeyer-Howe picked up his team-leading eighth assists on the play.
Sophomore Tucker Skime doubled Concordia's lead less than 5 minutes later. He scored his second goal in as many games when he took a centering pass from Blake Johnson and 1-timed a shot to the top part of the net from just outside the crease.
The final two goals of the game came courtesy of the Cobber special teams. Blaise Miller netted an unassisted shorthanded goal at 16:50 and Johnson capped the scoring in the period at 19:19 when he found the back of the net on a power play. Skime and Triggs had the assists on CC's fourth goal to give them both a 2-point contest. The shorthanded strike was Concordia's second in the last five games.
Concordia finished the game by outshooting St. Scholastica 46-29. Sophomore goalie Dane Couture stopped all 29 shots he faced to record his first-ever MIAC shutout and the second overall bagel of his career.
The Cobbers will look for the sweep of the 2-game series when they two teams square off on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 2 p.m. in Duluth.
