Maine’s Matt Yeats held down the fort for Maine in the final two games of the season. Yeats posted a season-high 40 saves against Minnesota on Friday. The Gophers tallied 44 shots on Yeats and held a one-goal lead in the third period. Yeats made great saves to keep Maine within striking distance late and the offense capitalized with 2.7 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. Maine won 5-4 in the extra frame.

Against Boston College, Yeats also played well posting 23 saves in the game.
