St. Cloud scored the only goal of the opening period to take control of the game 1-0. After a scoreless second, the Minotauros scored early in the third to tie the game up.

The Norsemen slid in two more goals to close out regulation with the 3-1 win.

Ryan O'Neill, Chase Freiermuth, and Ben Helgeson each netted one for St. Cloud. Paxton Geisel made 20 saves and allowed just one goal in the win.
