Eau Claire is now 3-1-0 on the season and with the win the team tops last year's mark for the entire season when the Blugolds went 2-21-4. The Royals are 1-2-0. The team got on the board 7:51 into the game with its first power play score. Jesse Vesel (So.-Hibbing, MN) made the shot while Greg Petersen (So.-Maple Grove, MN/Totino-Grace) and Steve Dus (Sr.-Onalaska) assisted. Evan Byers (So.-Eagan, MN) doubled the total at 11:03 on a power play with Mike Schneider (So.-Owatonna, MN) assisting. The Blugolds outshot the Royals 12-to-5 in the period. Bethel came out firing in the second with 14 shots and a goal at the 1:52 mark.

The Blugolds restored the two-goal advantage 7:36 into the middle period off a Sam Bauler (So.-Apple Valley, MN/Eastview) even-sided goal. Jeremiah Weber (Jr.-Hayward) was credited with the assist. The final score came at the 7:08 mark in the third when Petersen found net off passes from Ben Hendrick (So.-Andover, MN/Anoka) and Sean Garrity (Jr.-North St. Paul, MN). The power play goal came about a minute after Bethel's Jeff Balvin's game misconduct for checking from behind. Eau Claire was actually outshot 26-to-24 with Ryan Mensing (So.-Langley, BC/Walnut Grove SS) making 25 saves. On power plays Eau Claire went 3-for-9 while the visitors cashed in on 1-of-8.
