Tyler Peterson-NSO

The Hermantown boys hockey dropped a heartbreaker on Saturday, falling to Hopkins in overtime, 2-1.

Hopkins got out the lead in the 2nd period when Nathan Nelsen scored at 9:59. Hermantown would respond however, when Parker Hawk scored at the 15:43 mark with assists from Kyle Amundson and Tanner Kimball. The Hawks would fall in overtime however, when Nelsen scored his 2nd goal for Hopkins on a power play just 49 seconds into the overtime period.

Hopkins goalie, Josh Kuehmichel had a fantastic game in the nets, blocking an impressive 54 shots. Cade McEwen of Hermantown stopped 25 shots.

Hermantown is now 3-2 on the season and will look to bounce back on December 11th when they take on Duluth Denfeld. Hopkins is 5-1 on the season.
