MENOMONIE, Wis. - Saint John's hockey ended its power-play drought with two tallies from sophomore forward Nick Michel (Waconia, Minn.), including the game-winner 59 seconds into overtime, in a 3-2 victory at Wisconsin-Stout on Saturday, Nov. 13, in Menomonie, Wis.

SJU (2-3-1, 0-1-0 MIAC) killed off a roughing-the-goaltender penalty over the final 1:54 of regulation and the first six seconds of overtime, only to earn a power play for the same offense 10 seconds after the Blue Devils' expired.

Michel drove home a tic-tac-toe one-timer from junior Henry Enebak (Lakeville, Minn.) and senior defenseman Cole Souto (Yorba Linda, Calif.) with 4:01 left in the extra session to end the Johnnies' winless streak at four games. SJU finished 2-for-4 on the man advantage Saturday night.

Souto gave SJU a 1-0 lead with his first goal of the season (16th of his career) and his 40th career point 12:24 into the first period. The Johnnies saw their scoreless streak on the power play end at 0-for-24 when Michel scored his first PPG of the game 1:14 later.

Landon Lushanko cut the Johnnies' lead in half with a wrister off an offensive-zone faceoff with 9:32 left in the second period and Raphael Gosselin tied the game for Stout (0-6-0, 0-0-0 WIAC) 14 seconds into a power play with 13:22 remaining in regulation.

Senior goaltender Mac Berglove (Elk River, Minn.) made 21 saves in the victory.

The Johnnies out-shot the Blue Devils, which went 1-for-6 on the power play, by a 28-23 margin.

SJU returns to conference play with a 7 p.m. puck-drop against Saint Mary's (1-6, 0-2 MIAC) on Thursday, Nov. 18, at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud.
