Beniers is tied for eighth in the country in points with 36 in 28 games, but was right behind Smith before heading to the Olympics. Matty Beniers just stick handling his way to the goal and Luke Morgan finishes!

He's a massive reason as to why Northeastern is top-five in fewest goals allowed. <h3>Jake Sanderson  North Dakota   Defenseman   Sophomore </h3> It's hard to watch North Dakota and not notice the impact of Jake Sanderson.
