The Red Knights beat the Trojans on Monday, 4-3.
Benilde-St. Margaret's scored four goals in the second period and held on in the third for a road win over Section 6AA rival Wayzata on Monday, 4-3. The game was originally set for Jan. 5, but it was rescheduled in the wake of the injury to BSM sophomore Jack Jablonski. Jablonski was paralyzed by a hit he took in a junior varsity game against Wayzata on Dec. 30. Coaches decided to postpone the Jan. 5 game after they deemed players weren't emotionally ready to return to the ice. BSM head coach Ken Pauly said he didn't think that backdrop played much of a role in Monday's outcome. "This was about two Section 6AA rivals playing," he said. The Red Knights (No. 8 in Class AA) and Wayzata (No. 9) are certainly two of the better teams in the …
