Notre Dame shuts out Ohio State

Notre Dame shutout Ohio State to open the weekend series with the 14th ranked Buckeyes on Saturday.

The 15th ranked Notre Dame hockey team was a rude host to No. 14 Ohio State on Saturday night as the Irish skated their way to a 3-0 victory in the opener of the two game series.

Dylan St. Cyr stopped all 20 Buckeyes shots to pitch the shutout in net while a Graham Slaggert goal gave the Irish the only goal they’d need just before the midway point of the second period.

After St. Cyr turned away three shots on a Buckeyes power play in the third, Michael Graham found the back of the net to increase the Notre Dame lead to 2-0 with under 13:00 to play in the final frame.

Alex Steeves added his third goal in four games to extend the Notre Dame lead to 3-0, which would end up being the final score.

The shutout was the third in the career of St. Cyr and Michael Graham’s goal Saturday made him the 12th different Fighting Irish player to score so far this season.

The Irish improve to 4-3-0 on the season while Ohio State falls to 2-3-0.  The two meet again late Sunday afternoon for the series finale.  The puck drops at 5 p.m. ET and can be seen live on NBC Sports Net.
