Noah Cates end-to-end rush that finished with a striped shot over the shoulder of St. Cloud goaltender David Hrenak at 2:00 of overtime ended a thrilling game that pit two of the nation’s top teams against one another with Minnesota Duluth earning a 4-3 victory.<\/p>\n

Cates, despite skating the punk nearly 150 feet before firing the shot that resulted in the game-winning goal, credits linemate Kobe Roth for helping on the tally.<\/p>\n

“I just cut through the middle,” said Cates. “Kobe did a great job, driving to the net taking the defenseman with him and I was able to put it through. He did a good job opening up that lane.”<\/p>\n
