Feb. 11—DENVER — Denver scored three goals on a pair of major power plays and beat UND 5-2 in the series finale to finish off a series sweep.

First period: Sean Behrens, DU, 2 assists.

Second period: Massimo Rizzo, DU, 1 goal, 1 assist.

Third period: Aidan Thompson, DU, 1 goal.

Denver 1, UND 0 — Carter King (Sean Behrens) 14:26 (pp). Denver scores just five seconds into a major penalty. Behrens shoots from the point and King re-directs it past UND goalie Drew DeRidder.

Denver 2, UND 0 — Aidan Thompson (Carter Mazur, Mike Benning) 16:12 (pp). Denver takes advantage of its second five-minute major power play of the game when Mazur gets the puck at the side of the net and leaves a between-the-legs feed for Thompson, who has an open net to tap it in.

Denver 3, UND 0 — Shai Buium (McKade Webster, Sean Behrens) 17:01 (pp). The Pioneers tack on another goal on the major power play as Buium finishes off a rebound from the right side of the crease.

Denver 3, UND 1 — Mark Senden (Ty Farmer) 1:44. UND gets rewarded for early pressure in the third period when Senden gets the puck high in the zone, sends it through traffic, off the post and in.

Denver 4, UND 1 — Tristan Broz (Massimo Rizzo) 11:10. UND defenseman Ethan Frisch fumbles the puck behind the net, Rizzo picks it up and sends it out from to Broz, who finishes it off.

Denver 4, UND 2 — Jackson Blake (Louis Jamernik V) 13:10. Blake goes on a breakaway coming out of the penalty box. As Denver defenseman Kyle Mayhew catches up to him, he spins on top of the crease and puts one five-hole on Pioneers goalie Magnus Chrona.

Denver 5, UND 2 — Massimo Rizzo 16:04. UND's Owen McLaughlin throws a drop pass right to Rizzo, who walks in and scores.
