Exhibition Game 1: UMD at Lakehead

THUNDER BAY, Ont. -- Greeting and salutations from Thunder Bay, where UMD opens the second half with an exhibition series against Lakehead University.

The Bulldogs beat the Thunderwolves 4-2 in Duluth back in October, but since then, a tough Lakehead outfit has been decimated by injuries, dressing as few as three healthy defensemen for some games.

Goalie Jeff Bosch, who made 57 saves against UMD in that earlier meeting, has barely played since because of concussion issues. It was thought he could return this weekend, but we won't know for sure until warmups if he's playing.

(EDIT: He's playing.)
