ANCHORAGE, AK — Rylan Bydal opened the scoring early, finishing off a crisp passing sequence from Luc Bydal and Sam Evert after a wraparound play behind the net.
The momentum shifted in the second period as Minnesota netted six unanswered goals, two of them on the power play; and extended their lead with another power-play tally early in the third.
Caleb Mahar added a shorthanded goal for Anchorage with just over five minutes remaining, but the Wilderness responded quickly with two more to seal the 9–2 win.
The Wolverines will look to bounce back tomorrow night when the two teams face off for game two of the three-game series.
Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at the Sullivan Arena, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m.
