Only saw the 1st period...Severson was on for the 2nd russian goal but it wasn't his fault at all. Russian drove the net on Pouliot's side, shoved puck into goalie, then slid into back of net which moved the post past the goal line into the crease and the puck that wouldn't have normally went in did due to the net being moved. Goal stood since technically it was still on its moorings. He may have been a -3 in these two games but the goaltending behind him was pretty poor at times so that stat is deceiving. His ability to play in all situations, move the puck well, and being a right handed shot should help him earn a spot on Brent Sutter's team for the WJC, especially if Matt Dumba stays in the NHL.

Program Note: On Friday night, ESPNU will have Wisconsin (Faust) vs. Minnesota at 5:00 and Big Ten Network will have Ohio State (Gedig) vs. Michigan at 7:15.
