COLUMBUS, Ohio –A complete team effort led to a 3-0 shutout win over UConn for the Ohio State men’s hockey team Saturday afternoon in Columbus. Freshman goalie Jakub Dobeš stopped all 32 shots he faced, while sophomores Patrick Guzzo and Travis Treloar and junior Tate Singleton all found the back of the net. The Buckeye penalty kill was 4-for-4 in the win, which moved the Buckeye winning streak to three.
The Buckeyes, now 3-1-0 on the year, swept the Huskies (2-3-0) with the 3-0 shutout win Saturday and a come from behind 4-3 victory Friday. Ohio State scored the last seven goals of the series, with Dobeš stopping all 55 shots he faced in the stretch.
Quoting head coach Steve Rohlik
“It’s so hard to win at this level on any given night. It’s so competitive across the board. Any time you get one win it’s huge but when you can put two in a row and sweep on the weekend it’s something to hang your hat on. But like I told the guys, it’s back to work on Monday. Let’s enjoy this weekend right now but starting on Monday we’re thinking about getting better.”
