The #Gophers have swept North Dakota in men's hockey and won the Floyd of Rosedale in the same week for the second time. On Oct. 25, 1980, the hockey team capped a sweep with a 4-3 overtime win in Grand Forks and the football team beat Iowa at home, 24-6.

After becoming the youngest player to score a goal for the #Gophers since 2018 and the youngest Gopher to record a hat trick in the NCAA era, Wyatt Cullen lands Big Ten First Star of the Week honors. Cullen is the eighth Minnesota freshman to earn a Big Ten First Star and the first since Logan Cooley on Dec. 13, 2022.

Brett Larson is now 4-2-0 in his career at 3M Arena at Mariucci. The wins: • 7-2 vs. No. 2 Minnesota State (Dec. 28, 2019) • 2-1 vs. No. 4 #Gophers (Oct. 15, 2021) • 5-3 vs. No. 3 North Dakota (Oct. 22, 2026) • 5-3 vs. No. 3 North Dakota (Oct. 23, 2026)

#Gophers freshmen to score a hat trick against North Dakota: • John Mayasich (four goals, Feb. 15, 1952) • Tim Harrer (March 5, 1977) • Cory Laylin (Feb. 11, 1989) • Darby Hendrickson (Nov. 30, 1991) • Wyatt Cullen (Oct. 23, 2026)

Including two playoff sweeps, North Dakota has swept Minnesota 31 times.

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.

Wyatt Cullen is the seventh NCAA-era player to score his first three #Gophers goals in the same game and the first since Jimmy Snuggerud on Oct. 7, 2022. Minnesota's last hat trick versus North Dakota was Casey Hankinson's four-goal game on Nov. 9, 1996.

Wyatt Cullen is the first player whose first #Gophers goal was scored on the power play since Garrett Pinoniemi on Jan. 27, 2023 versus Michigan State. Cullen is the 125th Gopher to score his first goal with the program at 3M Arena at Mariucci.

Brodie Ziemer is the 49th #Gophers player to score 20-career goals at 3M Arena at Mariucci. Half of Ziemer's goals at 3MAM have come against top-10 opponents and six have come against foes ranked third or higher.

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.

Last night, Christian Humphreys became the first player to score his first two #Gophers goals in the same game since Jimmy Snuggerud scored his first three versus Minnesota State on Oct. 7, 2022. The goals were Humphreys' first college points in 697 days. The Michigan transfer amassed 153 CHL points during that time.

The Gophers are also on a 15-game winning streak in Tuesday games.
