Denver Needs Overtime to get Gold Pan Rivalry Win: Puck Drop

On a night featuring a lot of blowouts, with nine ranked teams involved in games won by three goals or more, Denver and Colorado College showed why the Battle for Gold Pan trophy is one the best rivalries in college hockey.

After neither side could gain an advantage through the first two periods, both teams scored once in the final frame before junior defenseman Boston Buckberger ended it at 3:34 of overtime to give No. 4 Denver the 2-1 victory over No. 17 Colorado College at Magness Arena.

Junior forward Riley Stuart gave Colorado College the lead at 5:41 of the third period on a centering pass from Ryan Alexander, only to have Eric Pohlkamp finish off a loose-puck rebound at 16:34 to send the game into extra time Friday night.

The Pioneers improved to 7-3-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the NCHC, while Colorado College is 6-4-1 (1-2-2) heading into the second game of the weekend home-and home series. Meanwhile:

• Ohio State's Adam Eisele, Max Montes, Jake Karabela and Davis Burnside all scored in the third period for a 5-1 victory over No. 7 Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.

• No. 5 Penn State continued to struggle without injured junior right wing Aiden Fink, a Hobey Baker finalist last season, as seven different players scored for No. 2 Michigan in a 7-1 rout at Pegula Ice Arena. The Nittany Lions are 9-4, but have lost three straight. Granted the previous setbacks were to No. 1 Michigan State, but they've been outscored 12-1 the last two games.

• No. 19 Dartmouth continued its hot start to the season as a Nathan Morin hat trick led a 6-1 victory against St. Lawrence.

• No 18 BC Men's Hockey Earns First Home Win in Four Goal Rout of No 12 UMass

• Gophers hockey reaches new low with embarrassing home loss against LIU

Puck Drop: Saturday, November 15, 2025

• In a rematch of the 2024-25 ECAC Championship, Brooke Davis made 20 saves for the shutout while Alexis Petford and Emma Beauchamp scored second-period goals as No. 14 Colgate handed No. 4 Cornell its first loss of the season 3-0 at the Class of 1965 Arena in Hamilton, N.Y. The Big Red won last season's title game 5-1. The home-and-home series will wrap up Saturady at Lynah Rink.

• On the NHL injury front, Jack Hughes (U.S. National Development Team) is out for the Devils after reportedly cutting his hand during a team dinner. Former Boston College goaltender Joseph Woll was activated and could make his season debut for the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Florida's Matthew Tkachuk (USNDT) is progressing from his offseason surgery for a sports hernia and could begin on-ice training in a couple of weeks. Ottawa forward Brady Tkachuk (Boston University and USNDT) started skating with teammates on Friday and may be a couple of weeks away from returning to action. He had surgery to repair a thump ligament.

• NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly disclosed that six cities have submitted bids to host the 2028 World Cup of Hockey, and that the sites could be announced during 2026 Olympics.

Hockey Quote of the Day

"He recognizes what he does best. He doesn't gamble. He plays very safe. He'll go back and make the pass to the same winger time after time if the guy's open, and he's so strong that even when he's being leaned on he can get the puck to his man. He never gets in trouble in his own end."
Bryan Murray on Rod Langway
