The Pioneers are one step closer to a third national title in five years. But they’ll have to win it without, arguably, the team’s emotional leader and, many times, on-ice leader.
Junior Tyler Ruegsegger, a Lakewood native, was injured late in Saturday’s victory over Alaska-Anchorage. Coach George Gwozdecky commented that his season is over (the injury should keep him out four to six weeks).
After a hard-fought series with the Seawolves, which left everything they had on the ice, the Pioneers will face Wisconsin next weekend in St. Paul, Minn. Denver swept the four-game season series with the Badgers. North Dakota awaits the winner of the Minnesota-Duluth and Minnesota game.
In more exciting Pioneer news: Colorado College was swept by Minnesota-Duluth, all but ending their season.
And, finally, on a more somber note: Here is the video of Ruegsegger’s second goal on Friday, before going down with a knee injury.
