DEFENSEMAN OF THE WEEK

Andrew Prochno, St. Cloud State

Junior Defenseman

Minnetonka, Minn.

Prochno played a big role on both ends of the ice to help St. Cloud State earn four points in its weekend series with Colorado College. He totaled three points in the two games while logging a +4 rating and blocking five shots on the weekend. In Friday’s overtime tie, the junior assisted on the Huskies first goal of the night, which came on the power play, while blocking two shots. On Saturday, he chipped in two points in a 6-2 victory, scoring the game’s first goal while assisting on SCSU’s final tally, also on the power play. Prochno posted  +4 rating Saturday and blocked three more shots. He helped limit the Tigers to two goals each night and led the Huskies penalty kill to a 6-for-8 weekend, going 3-for-4 each night.
