If you like your Saturday nights with a little history, the sixth-ranked Bulldogs beat Miami 2-1 at AMSOIL Arena, and head coach Scott Sandelin got his 500th win. The Hibbing native is the 18th Division I men's hockey coach to reach that mark.

Zam Plante opened the scoring on a power play nearly six minutes into the first, with Hunter Anderson setting it up. Ty Hanson made it 2-0 early in the second, finishing a Kade Kohanski feed on a 2-on-1. Miami cut the lead later in the period, but Carl Axelsson's 22 saves held it.

Duluth's Birth and Baby Fair returned to Lincoln Park Middle School after seven years

  • Hours: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday
  • Kids: free snacks and a gym activity area
  • Open to anyone, not just parents
  • Before 2020: held twice a year
