Perunovich On Point
Goals & Assists
Hibbing native, two-time NCAA national champion and 2020 Hobey Baker Award winner Scott Perunovich made his highly antici-
pated NHL debut for the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 16.
He tallied an assist in his second game just two days later and registered five total points in his first nine games. Prior to his call-up,
Perunovich lit up the American Hockey League with 20 points in 12 games from the blue line.
Brothers Will and Bennett Zmolek of Rochester
faced off against each other for the first time last
month as Minnesota State traveled to Bemidji State
for a weekend series. Will is a junior defenseman
for the Beavers and Bennett is a freshman
blue-liner for the Mavericks.
Bennett tallied his first collegiate goal
against his brother during the second game.
Meanwhile, sisters Jessica and Kate Boland from Northfield have started
another sibling rivalry between the Mavericks and Beavers. Jessica is a freshman
forward at Minnesota State and Kate is a junior defenseman at Bemidji State.
