His
Impact: In a crucial series for Minnesota on
an archrivals' home ice, Irmen turned in a pair of multiple-point
games. His efforts led the Gophers, who had lost two
in a row and were winless in three straight, to a pair
of 4-3 victories at North Dakota. He had 1-2—3
on Friday night, and his goal and assist on Saturday
included the eventual game-winning tally.
