Analysis
The numbers call this a true toss-up — North Dakota ranks #4 nationally vs. #2 for Denver, so expect a competitive game.
North Dakota brings a top-5 offense nationally (3.77 goals/game), which will challenge any defense.
Denver's defense is elite — top-1 nationally, allowing just 2.09 goals per game.
North Dakota's potent offense (OE #5) runs into Denver's stingy defense (DE #1) — could be a low-scoring battle.
