Coaches often say that you can throw out the records when it comes to rivalry game.<\/p>\n

Never was that as true as Tuesday afternoon in the NCHC bubble in Omaha when No. 9 Denver, winless in three games thus far, had to battle its rival, No. 1 North Dakota.<\/p>\n

A game with plenty of momentum shifts was decided when Denver rookie Carter Savoie scored in the closing seconds of both a five-minute major to North Dakota’s Brendan Budy and regulation, giving the Pioneers a 3-2 upset of a previously undefeated Fighting Hawks team.<\/p>\n
