Including postseason, the #Gophers earn their 38th all-time sweep of North Dakota and their first since Nov. 4-5, 2011.
Minnesota sweeps a top-three opponent for the first time since beating No. 3 Michigan on the road in back-to-back games on Nov. 17-18, 2022.
Before Christian Humphreys, the last time a player scored his first two-career #Gophers goals in the same game versus North Dakota was on Oct. 31, 1997 when both Aaron Miskovich and Erik Westrum did it in a 6-5 win.
Dylan Mills also scored his first Gopher goal in that contest.
