Saint John's University sophomore forward Kevin Becker (Roseville, Minn.) was Mr. Clutch in the Johnnies’ hockey series against Gustavus Adolphus, in which SJU picked up five of the six possible points on the weekend.
Down 1-0 Friday night, Becker tallied the game-tying goal, on the power play, with 3:07 remaining in the game. SJU later earned the extra point with a 1-0 shootout win.
Three minutes after SJU tied Saturday night’s game with a shorthanded goal, Becker scored the game-winner with 1:53 left in the 3-2 win in St. Peter. The win was just the second for SJU in the last nine meetings at Don Roberts Ice Rink (2-5-2 record).
The Johnnies (9-5-5, 5-3-2 MIAC) take on Hamline for a home-and-home series this weekend, beginning with a 7 p.m. game on Friday, Feb. 6, at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud.
