Same shot. Same celly. Same threads. Three years apart. #GoIrish #shorts

In 2023…
The University of Notre Dame hockey program picked up the extra point in a nine-round shootout Saturday night to cap off senior weekend with a 2-2 tie against No. 7/7 Ohio State.

The Irish cut the Buckeye lead in half with a goal from Jack Adams at 6:53 of the second stanza.

OSU was called for a hooking penalty to spur the second period media break as the Irish headed back to the powerplay. It took the team in green just 39 seconds to capitalize on the man-advantage following the break when Nick Leivermann fired a shot into the open net to make it 2-2 at 9:13 of the second period.

Leivermann went first in the shootout, lighting the lamp to take the early 1-0 lead while Bischel made the save on the Buckeyes’ counter. Both skaters missed the second shot before OSU evened it out with a goal to force round four with their do-or-die attempt with the third shot.

Both teams scored in the fourth round to extend the contest with Hunter Strand scoring first. The next four rounds all ended with saves on either end of the ice before Chase Blackmun gave the Irish the 3-2 advantage in round nine.

Following the go-ahead shootout goal, Bischel made a pad save to earn the extra point and finish the night with an unofficial 57 saves, including the six in the shootout.

In 2020…
Trailing 2-0 with under five minutes to play in regulation, Alex Steeves and Cam Morrison scored back-to-back goals just 1:45 apart in front of a raucous sold out crowd at Compton Family Ice Arena (5,355).

Neither team could find the back of the net in 5-on-5 overtime play and the game finished in a 2-2 tie. Then in the three-on-three overtime for the additional Big Ten standings point, both teams had chances, including brief power-play opportunities, but play moved on to a sudden victory shootout.

In the shootout, Cale Morris pokechecked the puck away from Patrick Khodorenko to register a save on Michigan State’s first attempt and then senior defenseman Tory Dello won a shootout against Michigan State for the third time in his career, scoring on Notre Dame’s first attempt.
