ST. PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus men’s hockey team is set for two non-conference games this weekend, hosting Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference opponents Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Stout during parents weekend. The Gusties (1-2-1, 1-1 MIAC) host the Yellowjackets (0-3, 0-0 WIAC) on Friday and the Blue Devils (1-2-1, 0-2 WIAC) on Saturday.

Chris Amsden (Jr., St. Peter, Minn.) made 21 saves in goal to record the win. In the home opener on Saturday, special teams woes downed the Gusties in a 6-2 loss versus the Oles. St. Olaf went 4-for-7 on the man advantage, scoring three times in the second period and twice in the third to secure the win. Tyler Rock (Fy., Savage, Minn.) and Tim Donohue (Jr., Bloomington, Minn.) tallied goals for Gustavus.
