SJU’s Power Play Comes Alive in 5-2 Win


Box Score

ST. CLOUD, Minn. - Saint John's hockey snapped its power-play drought and recorded its seventh five-goal game of the season in a 5-2 victory over Northland (Wis.) on Monday, Jan. 24, at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud.

The Johnnies (10-5-2, 5-2-1 MIAC) ended a 0-for-24 skid on the power play (since Dec. 10 at Concordia, Wis.) by scoring two goals on their first two opportunities on the man advantage and finished 2-for-4 on the night.

Junior forward Jack Johnson (Bemidji, Minn.) collected three assists, while a pair of classmates from Edina, captain Auggie Moore (2g/1a) and defenseman Peter Tabor (1g/2a), totaled three points apiece. The multi-point game was Moore's fourth of the season and 13th of his career (sixth of three points or more).

Moore opened the game's scoring with his sixth goal of the season 4:28 into the game and junior forward Henry Enebak (Lakeville, Minn.) made it 2-0 with his first tally of the season, on the power play, at the 16-minute mark. 



Ben Varga cut the Lumberjacks' (3-12-3, 0-8-1 WIAC) deficit in half 57 seconds later and Parker Severson tied the game 2:36 into the second period.

The Johnnies' power play answered the bell for the go-ahead goal, Moore's second of the night, at the 11:12 mark of the second period.

Freshman forward Spencer Rudrud (Eden Prairie, Minn.) then found classmate Jackson Sabo (Rosemount, Minn.) all alone in front with 1.5 seconds remaining in the second period to give SJU a 4-2 lead. The goal was Sabo's first as a Johnnie and fourth point in his third game.

Tabor ended the scoring with his second goal of the season, 4-on-4, with 8:44 remaining in the contest.

Senior goaltender Michael Magnuson (Sunfish Lake, Minn.) made his fourth start of the season and stopped 17 shots to even his record at 2-2.

SJU out-shot LC by a 36-19 margin, including 27-10 through the first two period.

The Johnnies take on Hamline for a 3 p.m. non-conference game on Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 26, at the TRIA Rink at Treasure Island Center in St. Paul. The contest will be SJU's fourth in six days.
