St. Norbert's Michael Buchan and Trent Dickson each scored in the first period of Friday's game. The teams lit the lamp five times in a span of just over six minutes early in the second period. Senior David Evans (Calgary, Alberta/Calgary Royals) pulled the Foresters to within one with a power play goal at 2:43. After John Donnelly took advantage of the home team's power play opportunity at 4:22, junior Adrian Wong (Richmond, British Columbia/Fernee Ghostwriters) scored for Lake Forest at 6:49, his sixth of the season. However, the Green Knights extended the lead to 5-2 with goals by Connor Hughes and Kyle Peterson in the period's ninth minute. Forester freshman Cory Wilson's (Calgary, Alberta/Calgary Royals) eighth goal of the year at 15:59 in the third was the only score of the third period. Sophomore Joel Cameron (Markham, Ontario/Milton Merchants) recorded 48 saves for the visitors, the eighth time in his career that he stopped at least 40 shots on goal. Fellow sophomore goaltender Cody Brown (Calgary, Alberta/Calgary Canucks) was in net for the Foresters on Saturday. He tallied a career-high 53 saves in 54 chances to help preserve the tie. Evans put Lake Forest on the scoreboard with just 17 seconds remaining in the first period with his team-leading 15th goal of the year. Buchan scored St. Norbert's only goal of the game at the 11:27 mark of the second. Brown recorded 20 saves in the period and already had 39 going into the third. The teams combined for just 15 shots on goal in a hard-fought third period and neither team was able to score in the five-minute overtime period. The Foresters will host UW-Superior (13-4-2, 6-1-1 NCHA), the defending national champions, next Friday (January 24) night. They will also play host to the College of St. Scholastica (4-13-1, 1-6-1) the following night. Both NCHA games will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday's
