EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The No. 2 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire men's hockey team hosted the UW-Stout Blue Devils for the last regular season home game on Saturday night. After needing overtime the night before, the Blugolds would ignite their fire power through all three periods to earn a 4-0 victory.
The first tally of the night came just a little over five minutes into the opening period as Andrew McGlynn (So. – St. Louis, MO/Christian Brothers College) would glide through the middle and redirect the puck past the Blue Devil goalie to give the home squad a 1-0 lead.
The second period would start with more offensive power as Jon Richards (Jr. – Callaway, MN/Detroit Lakes) would rifle a wide angled shot on net that would sneak under the goalie to make it 2-0. The Blugolds would continue with momentum with a powerplay goal from Nick Techel (Wausau, WI/West) and increase the lead to 3-0. Andrew McGlynn would seal the deal in the third after rifling a shot home from the slot making it 4-0.
Goaltender Zach Dyment (Jr. – Abbotsford, BC/Yale Secondary) would stop all 16 shots he faced and earned his fifth shutout of the season. Dyment is now 13-2-2 on the season.
The Blugolds will be on the road for the remainder of the regular season starting with a weekend series in Ashland, WI next Friday and Saturday against Northland College. The first game is set for 7 PM and the next is scheduled for 3 PM
