⭐ Jake Sanderson: The North Dakota commit recorded 1 goal, 2 assists (1 primary, 1 secondary) and 7 shots in two games for the U17s last week.
Sanderson has registered 9 points (2g, 7a) in his last 9 games to give him 18 points (2g, 16a) in 31 games this season. That is tops among defensemen on the U17s and third highest overall on the team.
⭐⭐ Drew Commesso: Backstopped the U17s to a pair of wins last weekend over the Central Illinois Flying Aces to even his season mark at 10-10-0-1. Commesso started both games for the U17s with Noah Grannan sidelined.
In game one of the weekend series the Boston University commit recorded 23 saves in blanking the Flying Aces 1-0 to earn his first NTDP shutout. In game two Commesso made 28 saves and also denied all three Central Illinois attempts in the shootout of a 5-4 Team USA win.
⭐⭐⭐ Owen Gallatin: The White Bear Lake, Minnesota native picked the perfect time to tally his first goal of the season and also his first NTDP goal.
With just over 5 minutes left in regulation in Friday evening’s game versus Central Illinois, Gallatin took a pass at the blue line from Dylan Peterson, made a nice little move and fired a shot thru traffic that beat Flying Aces netminder Mitchell Gibson for the game-winner.
