It would be too easy to focus on the missed opportunities in Friday nights 2-1 victory over Omaha. DU (4-2-1, 1-0-0) went 0-5 on the power-play and nearly doubled up the visitors on shots (39-20). But it was a typical, gritty NCHC clash. Denver carried the pace of play but a scrappy Omaha team was able to forge a 1-1 tie late in the third period . Ultimately, it took the heroics of Kristian Epperson to cement the 2-1 victory for DU. Continue reading Late Goal Carries Denver Past Pesky Omaha, 2-1

BC Forges Last Minute Homecoming Tie with Denver, 2-2
Saturday night, Denver hockey (3-2-1) faced the Boston College Eagles with a chance to deliver a perfect homecoming weekend sweep. Goalie Tyler Krivtsov was solid in cage for the Pioneers for a second consecutive night but an untimely rebound by Krivtsov in the final minute surrendered a one-goal lead. The two teams failed to light the lamp in five-minute OT and the game finished knotted at deuces. Continue reading BC Forges Last Minute Homecoming Tie with Denver, 2-2
Pioneers Open Homecoming Weekend with 5-2 Victory over Boston College
It was a bit later than they had hoped, but the #4 Denver Pioneers (3-2-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) have their first home victory of the 2026-27 season. A week after a frustrating sweep at the hands of the now-#1 Michigan Wolverines in a rematch of the 2026 Frozen Four, the Pioneers earned their first victory at Magness Arena this season with a 5-2 win over the #18 Boston College Eagles (1-3-0, 0-0-0 Hockey East) in a rematch of the 2024 national title game. Sam Harris opened the scoring, Kieran Cebrian scored twice, and Daxon Rudolph even got the much-maligned power-play unit on the scoresheet.

Pioneers Swept by Wolverines to Begin Home Portion of Title Defense
If you don’t score on a five-on-three, you don’t deserve to win. Maybe never in the history of college hockey has that adage proved truer than it did this weekend at Magness Arena. In game one, #1 Denver (2-2-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) had a minute-plus two-man advantage against #2 Michigan (6-0-0, 0-0-0 Big 10) with the opportunity to pull back to within a goal, and in game two, the Pioneers had two separate five-on-three opportunities that each lasted nearly a full two minutes. Denver scored on none of them, and they lost both games, 4-1 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday. Coincidence? Perhaps. Unacceptable? Absolutely.
