Nick Hopper (G)

Nick Hopper (Culver City, CA) will start against the St. Norbert Green Knights this Friday at the Dunn Co. Ice Palace.  Saturday night we will see goaltender Tom Lescovich (Clifton Park, NY) take the pipes against SNC in game 2 of the series.  Both returning goaltenders (Pischlar, Morgan)  are not in the plans to see any action this weekend.

“It looks like Hopper kind of has the inside track right now, but the [others] have been looking very good as well,” said Watkins. “If we can get anything close to what we had last year, I think we’ll be ok. I don’t know if we’ll be as good in goal as we were last year, but if we can get above average goaltending we’ll be fine.” (Via USCHO)

The Blue Devils are very deep this season all around.  Coach Watkins will likely be shifting line and plugging players in where he thinks he’ll have the best chance to win in that particular game or series.
