DULUTH, Minn. - Freshman William Wrenn (Anchorage, Alaska) is a game-time decision tonight due to an upper body injury. If Wrenn is unable to play, senior Cody Brookwell (Calgary, Alberta) gets the start on the blueline vs. Minnesota Duluth.
DU will also be without star defenseman Patrick Wiercioch (Maple Ridge, British Columbia), who left this morning to attend the Team Canada Selection Camp for the World Junior championship. Paul Phillips (Darien, Ill.) will get the start in place of Wiercioch. Shawn Ostrow (Calgary, Alberta) replaces Luke Salazar (Thornton) at forward for DU, who has posted a 6-2 road record.
Tyler Ruegsegger (Lakewood) became the 91st member of the Pioneer Century Club for 100-point scorers last night. Ruegsegger tallied the second assist on Kyle Ostrow's (Calgary, Alberta) game-winning goal in the third period.
