Game 25: UMD at Denver

DENVER -- UMD's first trek to the Mile High City in more than three years features the Bulldogs trying to work themselves out of an offensive rut.

Through 16 games of this season, UMD was averaging 3.4 goals per game. Over eight games since, the average has plummeted by more than a goal per game to 2.25.

The power play -- 20 percent in the first 16 games and just three for 30 since -- is a culprit. But five-on-five scoring has to improve, too. It will only get more difficult to put the biscuit in the basket as we get closer to "win or go home" time. If the power play is going to keep struggling, the Bulldogs are going to go through hell trying to rack up enough goals to win games consistently.
