DULUTH, Minn. -- Playing on the road for the first time this season, the No. 5/6 Fighting Irish hockey team was edged by No. 4 Minnesota Duluth on Friday night at the Amsoil Arena (5,526).

The teams traded goals in a fast-paced first period that ended tied, 3-3.

The Irish took a 1-0 lead on an Andrew Oglevie tally, while Cam Morrison added his first career goal to then tie the game, 2-2.

Anders Bjork's fifth goal of the season tied the game one again, 3-3, just 17 seconds after Alex Iafallo had given the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead.

In the second period, Minnesota Duluth's Adam Johnson scored what proved to be the game winner at 6:09.

Notre Dame had several chances to tie things up in the third and pulled Cal Petersen in favor of the extra attacker while skating on the power play with time winding down but the Bulldogs were able to hang on for the win.

Petersen finished the night with 28 saves, including a breakaway stop on Duluth's Dominic Toninato to keep it a one goal game late in the third period.

In the Minnesota Duluth net, Nick Deery finished with 20 saves.

On Saturday night, the Irish and Bulldogs will close out their weekend series in an 8:05 p.m. (ET) game at the Amsoil Arena.
