As the team looks to ride a young goalie back to the top of the Big Ten, the Gophers will rely on defensive experience like that of the rising junior who is a Washington Capitals top prospect.

Gophers sophomore Ryan Chesley fits the profile of a certain NHL defenseman

The Gophers men’s hockey team had big shoes to fill on the blue line after last season, and Ryan Chelsey has been a difference-maker.

Gophers landed junior Matthew Wood, arguably the top scorer in the transfer portal. He'll make a big impact. He has great shots, size, play-making ability, a wing who maybe could play center, but skating isn't the best.

Drafted #15 overall by Nashville. A big get for Minnesota. He scored 16 goals last season. His total points slipped slightly to 29 last season. The plan is to pump that up with Gophers

He's only 19 years old (February, 2005 birthday).
