Tonight
Top-ranked North Dakota and fifth-ranked Miami will close out the regular season tonight at Steve Cady Arena.
UND has already clinched the Penrose Cup and No. 1 seed in the conference tournament as NCHC regular-season champion and will host Colorado College in the NCHC Quarterfinals next weekend.
Miami enters the night tied with Denver for second place in the NCHC standings and can still finish anywhere from second to fifth.

About Last Night
Zane McIntyre (Thief River Falls, Minn.) made a season-high 43 saves and Connor Gaarder (Sr., Edina, Minn.) scored the game-winner for the third straight game as North Dakota clinched the Penrose Cup outright with a 2-1 win over the RedHawks. It also extended UND's nation's-best unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1).
Sean Kuraly scored the lone goal for Miami, which out-shot UND 44-27, including a 39-16 margin over the final 40 minutes.
It was the fifth straight win for UND, which has just one loss in its last 14 games (12-1-1) and has not lost in regulation time since Jan. 9 vs. No. 7 Minnesota Duluth. Its only other loss during that 2-month span was a 3-2 overtime loss at No. 5 Omaha on Jan. 30.
